Shooting Down Drones Will Soon Be Legal
Oct 9, 2018 09:38:21 #
Although it is currently illegal for private citizens to shoot down drones, a law working its way through Congress will allow the government (local, national?) to shoot down drones that it considers a "threat." What constitutes a threat is open to discussion, however.
A collision between a drone and the wing of a plane could have disastrous results, as shown by a University of Dayton video.

A "threat" is a drone flying over my backyard while my wife is sunbathing in the nude. Bang! Bang!

Some wierdo with a drone with a camera kept hovering over my grandaughter when she was sun bathing in the back yard. I took out my 20 gauge and got it with the second round. This guy came to the house and as I slowly chambered a round and said you are on my property. He turned and left!

I got a piece of buckshot to my lower lip when riding through the Dromoland castle property in Eire. Shock!
(Skeeters 300 yards away)
I guess it’ll happen more frequently when they start targeting drones! LOL

To avoid further conflict between you both, using a garden hose with high power jet nozzle may be a better way!

It's dangerous for both side while fire arm is involved, even it's legal, no body wants the matter becoming violent!

And noe so far has noticed it is about making it legal for GVT NOT John Doe (You).
As to the guy claiming to have shot a drone and scared the doo out of its owner... If the guy is smart you will end up in jail for shooting his toy and threatening him with a gun.
