I was cooling off next to my pool after finishing my run last night and heard a strange whine. At first I thought it was a motorcycle in the distance but then realized the noise was vertical rather than horizontal. Looked up to find a drone circling my house... It flew off and then returned and I gave it a single digit salute. Felt like I was being spied on, anyone else had them buzzing around?
I'd still shoot at it. Probably has a camera on it. They don't have the guts to come over and wander around on your property, but they'll do it from the sky. Shoot 'em down.
Got a hot wife or daughter that frequently uses the pool? My guess is you have a nerd living in the area who has a thing for them...
I feel the same as China, Russia, USA, my airspace enter and there will be an incident. I am out in the country, I can discharge a firearm legally
When you own a property, you own it down to the core. But also you own airspace. Own airspace? Well can you erect a 200ft building, sure if you can, permits ect. Windmill, sure...... but how much airspace is yours? There is air tresspass and air nuissance. Tresspass, depending on your location could be a low flying airplane, swooping, etc. Nuissance could be a plane nearby. Same goes for a drone. Depending on where you live depends on the action you can take, ill leave it at that. Stinny great video of the young drone hunter.........
The FAA is going nuts trying to figure out how to regulate drones for the reasons you mentioned and then some. I have a feeling they won't get very far until a passenger jet taking off sucks a drone into one of it's engines and takes out a few city blocks... they usually move a little faster then.
Under current law the quad copter(better known as drone) can only fly over owned land. You could cut some leeway to some youngster nearby piloting it around the premises unless it's a CREEPER then I may ignore local ordinance and play stupid when 4th of July fireworks start going off
I think a Cali firefighting plane had to abort a flight due to a drone just last week. I say plink it with a bb gun if you are in an area not friendly to discharge of powder guns. Me personally, even though my house is in a non gunfire area, there's enough room, and I've got enough control to place a nice lethal drone blow with my 12 gauge. A 3.5" steel goose load will take one down at 60 yards easy. If some dope were to come over saying I wrecked his drone, I'd tell him I would call the cops if a broken drone isn't the end to trespass/ Invasion of privacy.
If the 12 won't do it, get your hands on a 10 gauge goose gun....................it will..............
An ice cannon would be awesome. The ammo would disappear before anyone could find it. Or how about a net gun?
