went over my airspace

How high can we claim “airspace”?
Did she bill the drone owner for her flat tires?

As the law currently stands, we can't claim airspace at all. The National Airspace System begins at ground level. I'm currently becoming familiar with the newly introduced "Part 107" FAA rules, I could be mistaken on this point.

I'm not saying she's in the wrong shooting down the UAS, but she may be wrong about the airspace.

Unclear. The FAA claims to control all airspace, they recognize airspace above 500 feet or 300 feet above a building as public, but it's a federal crime to interfere with drones flying below the public level. And in some circumstances require drones to fly below that level. An obvious mess.

I think the FAA has reluctantly allowed us serfs to claim as much as 400 feet of ceiling.
