Drones
I ran across this poll today the question asked was, "If a drone trespasses on your property, should you have the right to shoot it down?"
What do you think?

You really want to know what I think?
I am not happy with the thought that someone can trespass on my property or invade my privacy if that is their intent. When it gets to the point that the average citizen has to worry about Big Brother looking in the window from a drone, we are all in a heap of trouble.
Were you to shoot them down, you would probably be in an even bigger heap of trouble.
In the event of an incident from a private party, I would probably give them a friendly warning. The second time would be on them.

The government considers area above 500 ft as navigable. Now they are thinking of lowering it so drones could fly over. They are getting ready. Big brother is coming.

Start practicing
with your slingshot, you can go to jail or at least be fined for the discharge of a firearm within the city limits in a lot of places.
I have no idea how high up your ownership goes but I suspect that you don't own any of it.
I also don't know how this poll turned out because to vote or see the results you had to sign in and I didn't want to do that.

You have NO idea where that bullet is going to eventually end up...
That having been said... I knock one down in a heartbeat...
(I live in a rural area, and I've got some 12 gauge shells that are more than stout enough to do the trick! )

Here is my opinion.
-
We do not own the air above our property. The FAA does!

Let's not be so paranoid about drones. They are serving a lot of useful purposes and the chances that they are spying on you are extremely remote. As the technology advances there will be numerous beneficial uses developed for drones.
You don't own the airspace above your home, if a hot air balloon drifts over your home would you shoot at it, I think not. If you did you would probably be put in jail. Just sayin'

There's been some controversy in cattle country about the EPA using drones to surveil feedlots. I guess shooting them down depends on how high your airspace rights go.

In populated areas, aircraft must stay 1000 feet above the terrain. In rural areas, 500 feet. The exceptions would be taking off or landing of the aircraft. In MOA areas, it could be lower? They train by fly map of the earth.
Now, I don't know how these rules apply to drones? They are a new game changer in the mix of flying things.

If a 10 or 12 gauge loaded with .32 cal shot can reach it, it is too close, and will suffer.
