There’s a Drone Flying Over My House. Can I Shoot It?

The irony is that the drone was just his tinfoil delivery from Amazon.

 

I would just video it back and call the police. File a report and follow that mutherfucker back to the perve's house and press charges for child pornagraphy

 

He hasn't been convicted of anything, and he won't be.

In Oregon, all homeowners or property owners own the airspace above their property into infinity and the ground beneath their property to the center of the earth. Other than Federal laws which allow for legally approved air traffic ABOVE 500 FEET, any invasion of your property by outsiders (mechanical or in person) is considered trespassing. Since the 2 most common uses to date for drones are espionage and the killing of humans, Oregonians will have no problem justifying the defense of their families and property should an overzealous DA actually bring charges against them. In fact, if your neighbor flies a drone over your property and you shoot him in his yard while he is flying it, a strong legal argument could still be made for self defense. At the very least it's an open and shut case of trespassing and reckless endangerment.

Drones can carry all sorts of weapons, and even when used non-violently with good intentions are so unstable that a simple gust of wind can send them crashing into crowds, traffic, or homes. I pity the fool who flies one over my place.

 

Sounds like an opportunity here. Any drone flying low enough to be shot down with a shot gun is a civil aircraft violating your airspace. It is too low. However, firing a shot gun is not going to be
socially acceptable in this anti gun liberal world of today. The opportunity is for the development of a control frequency blaster. Bring it down with a directed beam of energy on the frequency
to over whelm the on board controller.

 

Here you go.

Somebody get to work.
Perhaps you can just throttle it back to come down and keep the sucker.

 

Ewwwwwwwww

 

"I don't mind you taking pictures of my wife and sister, but I draw the line at my daughter."

"But there was only one woman in the yard."

"And your point is?"

 

Shooting guns is perfectly legal on my property, and in my neighborhood, and for several miles beyond. I have many resident quail, and frequently visiting deer and elk I could shoot during the correct seasons but I go out on the forest to do that. I often shoot ground squirrels on my property as they tear up my lawn, crows when they are nest-robbing, and I'll fire off a few shots to chase away the coyotes when they trespass to keep my dogs safe.

So if a drone did happen to invade my airspace and got shot it down it would most definitely be the result of it's owner carelessly flying it directly through the path of my buckshot meant for a ground squirrel or crow. A clear case of operator error.

 

I was just waiting for something like this too happen. I hope every one of those f-cking things is shot down by lunatic home owners frothing at the mouth about their rights. Should make for interesting news. I love seeing well adjusted tax payers who bitch about being too happy put out. Hey a guy's got to have a hobby.

 

Living in the city and firing on a drone would probably be a bad move. At the very least you introduce the possibility sending an errant round into a densely populated area over something that is not life threatening. On the other hand if it's a drone flying in an area where I grew up, I have no doubt I and dozens of my neighbors would take pot shots.
