And just my luck if I were to have shot the dog then I would have been sued for everything I own. I can live with a warning shot.

And what exactly says that this shot was reckless? The bullet traveled exactly where I wanted it.

Just dont tell them that it was a warning shot, just say that you shot at it then missed. Then the dog got scared and ran off, that works :-)

That was the plan. But just as I suspected no one showed up. Even after a call to animal control.

Well, You have your paper trail now. You have voiced your complaint. If it is a m ust because the dog is a danger and keeps coming around, you can take care of it and report it or, do what I would do and use a small caliber (.22 head shot x 3) and a deep hauler...

You won't be sued for defending yourself against a dog on your property. You have the paper trail, don't waste ammo or money for fines by shooting dirt.

Well in that article the warning shot was directed at another person. My warning shot was directed at a mean animal that had me in backed in a corner. I refuse to be afraid to go outside my house.
