Warning shots are a very, -very- bad idea.
1: What goes up -will- come down. It might kill or injure someone, or damage their property, when it does so. When I was in High School, a dumbass negligently discharged an SKS into the air, and the bullet killed a young girl standing in line at an amusement-park more than four miles away. I'm sure our colleagues who've lived or served in less-developed parts of the Arab World and Central Asia have loads of similar stories involving weddings, funerals, and political demonstrations.
2: It's an "intentional miss." You never want to get into the habit of missing.
