Why Warning Shots Are Not A Good Idea

Most people have swords nearby when they are drinking?

You don't?

I keep a SOG Tactical Tomahawk close by. Zombies.

They do work well for opening those pesky beer cans when the tab breaks off!

Good thing I don't drink canned beer then....a girl's gotta have her standards.

PS...that zombie tomahawk is awesome!

Most of the craft brewers whose products I like to sample sell their beer in cans because it's cheaper than bottling. If it drives down cost, then competition will eventually drive down pricing. I like to think that I am helping to save people money.

It just tastes metallic to me. My preference is always draft, but bottles will work in a pinch. The Owner's Box at the Omni Dallas has a great selection of Texas craft beers on tap as well as my personal favorite; Blue Moon.

Wagner was not drunk he never drank to that point he was just trying to help someone get out of a bad spot

I know that it was over two years ago, but condolences for your loss. Until a person experiences a tragic loss that can never be given back, one can never understand that the wounds may heal, but the scars never will go away.

I assume that you found this board through a google search and felt compelled to respond. The original poster indicated that he hates to jump to conclusions and he shouldn't have done that.

Nobody actually said that either of the men were drunk, however it may have been implied. The lessons for the rest of us are the same. Guns and alcohol don't mix. Warning shots are a bad idea. And jumping to conclusions often leads to the wrong conclusion.

Too often we read about fatal incidents that do include alcohol or other mind altering drugs.

I am the OP and while I don't usually like to jump to conclusions, sometimes I do.
I have found that many, if not most, of these types of scenarios often have alcohol as one of the components.
If this was not the case for the deceased, I apologize to Ms. Wagner.
Since there weren't any more details given after the initial report, I don't suppose we will ever know about the circumstances that ended in this deadly encounter.
