This Should Be Legal Everywhere

A remote-controlled aircraft owned by an animal rights group was reportedly shot down near Broxton Bridge Plantation Sunday near Ehrhardt, S.C.
I am not passing judgment on the circumstance of the use here, just the fact that Group A was going to fly a spy drone over Property B. I believe that it should be completely legal to shoot down or to blind spy drones and the the operators of the drones should be sued for invasion of privacy.  Following a jury trial, the drone operators ought to be put in the stocks and the populace should be encouraged to pelt them with rotten vegetables.

This shit has gone far enough.

  1. This should also be legal when it comes to government drones over American private property.

  2. This shit went more than far enough a long time ago, but likely has not gone as far as it eventually will.

  4. Drone-shooting could make a better sport than pigeon-shooting. These guys are on to something.

  5. Dear Miss Fit:

    So...as a purely practical matter what would you recommend as personal AAA? A 12 gauge with 00 shot?

    Regards,

    Wow, thanks guys, I Love 'action shooting'.
    Had some balooners looking in my windows once, but it was waay too easy of a target.
    Drones are just right.
    Now if only I had a recipe for say "baked drone"

  7. Frank Van Haste - my weapon of choice would be something shoulder-mounted and loud.

  9. Frank,

    Because of the danger posed by falling projectiles, I'd not go with a spin-stabilized round. So shotgun pellets are about it and maybe smaller buckshot.

    A 20watt plasma rifle would be good. So would a powerful laser. One of the bigger green ones might do for blinding the optics.

  10. I'd opt for a well placed pellet as in air rifle. Less bang, more crash.

    After it lands on my property I'd sue for physical damages to the property. IF they want it back I'd assure no further functionality by hitting the electronics with an electrical "surge".

    Eck!
