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.

If you have a hunting bow there is a neighborhood friendly way to dispose of unwanted drones. If my family or house was been scoped out via a drone, I'd do everything possible to make sure it would be the last flight of that drone. THAT is a great idea! I love shooting aerials with my longbow. Or at least shooting at aerials...

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

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".
Never holler whoa or look back in a tight place

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?

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

I'd rather have spent birdshot land on me than that thing. Shotgun may be louder but that arrow would be more dangerous/likely to cause injury than falling 7.5 shot. 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.
