Shooting a load of turkey shot into the sky is safer than a lot of these other approaches to downing drones.
I am unsure that it is a federal offense to shoot a drone out of the sky, as “amateur airplane” operation falls into a grey area of FAA regulation – the same regulations drone operators are saying makes shooting down their “aircraft” a Federal Crime also forbid operation within 500’ feet of a residence.
Assuming the drone is operating below 83 feet over private property, the homeowner has airspace rights, see US v. Causby
