In every state that I know of, there is no such thing as a warning shot as far as the law is concerned. Additionally, any shot fired into the air will come down somewhere. I have a friend who had a bullet drop into his patio on the night of July 4th less than a month ago. You are far better off walking out with a shotgun with no round chambered. Cambering the first round should be warning enough. If you really want to give warning, make the first round salt shot and all the rest buck shot. Don't expect the salt shot to actually stop someone like in the movies, but it's one hell of a warning. If the intruder has a weapon just cycle the salt round and make the first shot buck shot.

Also, in most states a person has the right to walk up to your front door even if you have "no trespassing" marked all around your property. They can even walk up to the front door if they had to open and unlocked gate to the front yard. In some states a tenant can't even permanently kick someone off the property. Only a land owner can. A tenant can forcefully make someone leave, but a "legitimate" solicitor can come back after a while as long as they are going to other houses.

I'm not saying any of this bullshit is moral, but beware of your local laws. Whitey still get prosecuted for defending themselves everywhere even if others are attacking. People like to say things to the cops like "I gave them a warning shot." Definitely don't do that. You've just admitted to at least one felony in most states.

Do whatever you have to do to protect yourself, your family, and you friends. Just don't think the law will be on your side even if you made every possible attempt to deescalate the situation.

I put salt in my 500 fps pellet gun. It powders the salt.

I imagine anything coming out of that shotgun will lose all power within 20 feet.

Yup, it definitely won't have much range, and won't stop a determined attacker even at close range. The loud bang is just as much deterrent as the actual salt. It is a non-lethal round because of this, and you shouldn't get charged with attempted murder for using it. I still wouldn't admit to using it in this legal climate. If someone is charging quick or has a weapon cycle the salt round out and make the first shot buck shot.

If you think they'll be carrying plywood shields like the antifa do, put a slug or two in with the mix.
