Quite so. Up here simply threaten and it's assault; with a firearm, even just putting your hand on it in a threatening manner (but not drawing) it jumps to aggravated assault. Warning shots are just errant projectiles translated as reckless discharge of a firearm. SA and rounds on target when needed are the way to go.
