Drones

[2Paw]

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?

[vided]

Oh my, it fell out of the sky.

[ARtraveler]

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.

i have a question, how high over our house do we own. is there a air right like there is a mineral right, and i would try to find out who owns it if it had a camera on it. i i shot it down in NYC i would go to jail b4 the person spying me does

[2Paw]

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.

Let's face it; shooting at an aerial target with a rifle or pistol is just plain stupid!
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!)

Property rights. In Alaska, you own the ground your property is on. You do not own any mineral rights beneath the ground and the air above is not yours either.

what if you do ariel combat with it..?? Your RC little line with a grappling hook and you move it away from your house...

[bmccaffrey]

Invades my air space. 12 gauge with bird shot!!!!!!

SEE YA

Shoot the Drone or the owner?

Start practicing with your slingshot

I did not know the Polaris Slingshot could fly

I own a drone with a camera and I would not fly over someone's property without their permission
Unfortunately there are people that ruin things for others
I will be filming my grandson's 3rd birthday party tomorrow with it
So don't shoot
it is amazing what a difference it makes from filming on the ground

We do not own the air above our property. The FAA does!

I LOVE it!!

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'

[cuznjohn]

I LOVE it!!

DO NOT !!! AND I RE-PETE DO NOT !!! SHOOT DOWN THE AMAZON DRONE. i ordered a new blow up doll from them, the new MRS CUZNJOHN and she was back ordered. that reminds me i need to buy D cell batteries

I'm not judgin'...

i got the red headed one that you liked bob

[Bob Denman]

GREAT choice!!

[PrairieSpyder]

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.

[Cavman]

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.
