:shocked:



It looks as if the time has come, to keep the Model 12 by the door, with the magazine full of #6 shot... :thumbup:

Do we need to follow federal migratory regs and plug the gun?

If so I'll load some #4's for the follow up shot.

Could a paintball gun take one of these out?? That way no one would get in trouble for shooting within city limits here..... Just sayin'.....

Here's the thing....

These drones have limited security built in and there are remote scanners that if within reach can highjack the signal and you can take control of the drone...:yikes: then you can make the delivery wherever you like....:lecturef_smilie:

How do I get to the story, if I'm not a member of the WSJ? I'm just wondering about the pros and cons for drone delivery, and do you and others have the same arguments against for those that fly drones as a hobby like AY4B?

Without reading the story, are drone deliveries only to private addresses vs apartment complexes? Do you own a certain distance of air space above your house/land? :dontknow:

Holy crappola I'm going to be in serious trouble...

Clay pigeon I'm golden to "take out". But all this fancy woo woo stuff nope...I need help just to operate my electric toothbrush...so guess when the drones head my way I'll just figure it is a glorified clay pigeon and pull down!! :yikes::thumbup:

They aren't migratory birds: fill the magazine ALL the way!! :thumbup:

I found the article elsewhere.

I think it's very important that there be no delay in getting popcorn and a firestick to a customer. What's more important than that?

There was a short mention in the article about using drones for something as mundane as delivering medication in hard to reach places by normal route. Everyone knows popcorn and bacon are most important.

And in my Remington Model 10, that is 5 in the magazine and 1 in the chamber.... total 6.

:agree: delivery of much-needed bacon supplies, does seem like a useful application for this technology. :thumbup:

You should be easily able to keep the skies around you free of popcorn and firesticks! :clap: :roflblack:

Actually, very rarely put a round in the model 10. It's a 1917. Just keep it around because I don't sell guns, only buy them.

I know the feeling: I've got a Winchester 1897, that my Great-Grandfather bought new, in 1901 :thumbup:
