Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Dad shoots down drone hovering in his yard near his girls

RE the city ordinance, you would not be charged, or at least convicted in most cities if using for self defense.

Cut and dried no issue then in my mind.

Out back joy shooting, yep you break a rule then.

Wonder if drone taste like chicken?

Hope the gentleman is not charged.

THAT is a great idea! I love shooting aerials with my longbow.
Or at least shooting at aerials...

Drones are the tool of the pedophile.

No report of the drone owner showing up to complain...?

"Officer, that thing was just an airborne peeping Tom. I only shot at it in an attempt to preserve it for evidence."

And then STFU.

Well, have they figured out who owned the thing? And, good on him, I would have done the same in his situation.

Same here, they do not belong over my property.

Since it didn't come to earth on his property, he should have answered the cops' every question;"Sorry, but I can't help you."

The neighbor where it landed can just say, over and over;" I didn't shoot it".

My blind, gimp azz would have done the same thing. And I'd dared the owner to set foot on the place!!!!

Yep .. turn the tables.

I want to press charges against the owner. The pervert was using it to peer in my daughter's window when she was changing.

Thing is .. they might have been doing exactly that.

I agree; he did right by getting rid of the damned thing in his yard.

I was real leary when I learned any high tech idiot could own and use

one. Have no problems with toys, but drones, especially when introduced

to the general public have too many fools who think they have no

responsibility to use common sense while using (probably new drone

owners are sadly lacking in that anyway). My God, the gov. has issues

with people carrying guns, but how much more damage can a drone do?

Same here.

I wonder if there are any you tube vids out on how to make a frequency jammer, for scientific purposes only of course.

According to the article four guys came over to confront him. He was packing a .40 and made it clear that if they made a move on him there would be another shooting.

"Officer, the drone was flying erratically, and I thought he was aiming to hit my girls.......

My attorney's name is Mr. W. E. Cheatum, Esq. I wish to speak to him before answering any questions."

I really like that part.

Clearly you're no archer and never encountered one.

You need stick to squirt guns and rubber bands.

That's just fuggin dumb.
At that close of range a bow, a slingshot, or a brick is the best tool in hand.

So????? Sounds like he had a plan.

Toss cast net. Drone down. Drone done. End of story.
