Suspect that charge will not go away.


How much time does one have to spend in the pen for shooting a home invader?

So. What do you all recommend for drones? Steel or lead 4's 2's or double 00 buckshot? Pretty sure I'd do the same if I were to find some perve checking out my place or family. Could be burglars casing ones home.

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.



Really? Are you saying a falling arrow or flying arrow can't do much damage?

Even I know a good arrow is about 600ish grains IIRC, its been years since I did any tech stuff with bows, I just simply shoot em now, no biggy.

600 grains hitting you, is going to smart worse than a few grain pellets....

You have to know he's going to be charged with discharging a firearm in the city limits. Sometimes the law figures if they have to come out they need to charge someone.

surprised and disappointed that the man was charged for shooting a drone out of the sky over his yard.

I guess no good can come from living in a city of any size to speak of.

Hopefully, there are some clear thinking folks on a jury who are willing to say, "Not Guilty, by God, and I've got all day."

Oh, and if you are stupid enough to come confront me for shooting your drone down over my yard, I'll be happy to repeat myself.

No way in billy hell I'd have written that ticket.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems that flying a drone 10 feet over someone's property could be considered trespass.
The owner should answer for that.

Yep, this is the drone owners fault.

I'd buy that guy a beer, but here in Cali that is enough to have your CCW revoked.

All drones should have serial numbers and owners should be recorded.
That'll fix it.

Geezus, are you really that fuggin dumb ? If so you should go hang out at the elementary school playground with people of similar intellect. You have NO BUSINESS posting on an adult forum. Stupid son of a bytch.

Forget the trespass charges, the 'copter owner/operator was in violation of FAA regs. That's who should be notified. Let them deal with the feds. All the property owner has to say is that at some point, the drone flew over someone's head, or over a structure. Full stop, finito, end of story...

As for the property owner, well maybe he gets off on the discharge rap. But I'm sure there were ways to take it down that wouldn't have involved him having to hire a lawyer.

Seriously folks, if you're within city limits, DON'T SHOOT AT RC AIRCRAFT. You may be morally right if it's in your backyard, but remember, moral doesn't equal legal. Save yourself the legal fees and take it down without using a weapon. Or just document it, and follow it back to the owner. Get information (address, license plate, etc...) that will tie an ID to the person flying the aircraft. If it was flying over structure or people along the way, make sure that's captured as evidence, then present that to the authorities, letting them know that operating in that manner violates federal law.

Remember, a cheap quadcopter can be replaced or rebuilt for just a few hundred bucks and a couple of clicks. What's ducking potential local and FAA charges going to cost in time and money???

I suspect that Hevi-Shot Dead Coyote doubles as a decent drone load.

Shoot. Shovel. Shut up.

DON'T give the cops an easy arrest. Don't answer the door when they come snooping around. They have speed-traps and donut shops to attend to, they won't stick around long.....



This video sadly is THE ONLY WAY TOO GO. In this day and age. The litigious society............ Everyone Should watch it.
