Why bother covering Clinton when the media can cover 80 year old something Duvall!

I suppose a drone should be the legal equivalent of one’s nose. Start shoving it in other folk’s business expect it to be broken...

absent a video, there is no proof she shot the drone down.

her confession is just braggadocio

went over my airspace

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

In the Kentucky case, prosecutors dropped the criminal charges, though the drone owner is still pursuing civil charges in federal court.

Bet it never goes to a jury.

Out West, we follow the Three S’s. Shoot, Shovel and Shut Up, concerning wolves or drones.

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.

Isn’t there a FAA rule about HAM tower height? Seems to me that would indicate your airspace height.

If I were to have anyone flying a drone over my property thus violating the privacy of my home and property, they can consider an all out attack on said drone to be eminent.

As I understand the current state of FAA rulemaking, "privacy" is the correct approach to the problem. Airspace ownership is not. Also be aware that using your neighbor's property for an impact area (your shot must come down somewhere) is an invasion of his privacy and a negligent (at best) hazard to his safety.

No, tower height does not indicate airspace ownership.

Tobert Duvall loves the smell of shot down drones in the morning.

It snells like...victory.

I thought the same thing. What is the mentality of someone who would use a camera drone to do this?

At this point irresponsible drone operators and these hicks that think shooting at ones because they exist, are both equally retarded.
