Yeah it's self defense, but bodily harm isn't the same as imminent danger regarding life. That teacher should know better. You can draw to show the threat, which usually works. But a methed out crack head with no weapon means you can't shoot. Then what do you do! That's why my 45 gets carried with a taser. Any properly trained police department does the same for the exact same reason.
Warning shot! Seriously? FMJ ball ammo can rip through a wall taking down your neighbor walking the dog or anything. Even your kid playing wii. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard from someone with LE experience.......
