I can.
You just lay the bead on it and squeeze.
Can I? You bet. Will I? Depends. May I? Probably not.
If enough people do it, they can’t stop it.
10-15 years ago, I remember hearing a rumor that a F-16 returned to base at Selfridge ANG base in Michigan with some shotgun pellets in the belly. FWIW
Apparently, #8 bird shot is the most effective at this stage of the recreational drone game.
OTOH, somebody's selling depleted uranium shot too.
Need more time at the range.
Easy to say when faith was the only thing that could get you up there. Or, on very rare occasions, a catapult.
Now $25 can get you (well, a camera on your behalf) anywhere in someone else's airspace.
They now fly A-10’s from Selfridge. I doubt anyone would try to outgun those.
If it flies quickly over your property; no.
If it says there hovering; shick shick
Like you could get 12 jurors to convict someone for shooting down a drone over his own property.
The last sentence of the first paragraph is completely false. You absolutely do not control the rights to minerals and resources under your land. Water rights and mineral rights are entirely separate from property rights.
If Exxon pumps oil next door to your house, very likely some of the oil will come from below your property. Exxon will not give you one thin dime for any oil they pump.
If your neighbor has a well and pumps water from the aquifer, some of that water may be under your land. They will owe you nothing for it. You can’t even pump water from under your own land unless you have the water rights, which are bought and sold separately.
As far as the space above your property, the electric utilities and the telecom companies can hang wires above your property and you don’t have any recourse.
Carbon credits will eventually be air rights. You won’t be able to burn anything in your own house because you will not own any of the air that exists within your home, even if you have trees outside making oxygen.
So, really, you don’t have any control of the airspace above your house.
If the “right to privacy” can be used to kill your baby, I will use it to bag a drone.
“Airspace” is NOT a factor.
From what I understand, your property rights extend about 500’ above your property, which is where the FAA takes jurisdiction. Fly below that, and you’re fair game to someone with a shotgun and some birdshot.
Anti-drone drone “armed” with a net.
Snag and bag, “what drone?” when the owner asks for his privacy invasion tool back.
Drone Blind.....
Try flying one over the White House and see how THEY react to it.
