It is a felony to shoot at aircraft, including drones.

Don’t do the crime, if you can’t do the time.

Best,

I can't say this is true regarding drones. They, for the most part, do not ferry humans. I am a drone pilot and I just do not remember that on the exam.

I know a guy in Montana shot down a drone that he claimed was ogling his daughter at poolside, and he was within city limits. He got away with it, but it took some lawyering.

I think if you are sure you can get it to the ground and dispose of if permanently and quickly, maybe the 3S philosophy would apply. But whether I would to it, probably not. I don't find drones threatening and I don't have anything to hide, so the cost to benefit ratio just does not balance favorably. But if I was a Coastie captain and had a fleet of drones dogging my boat and the water was deep, they might not all get back to base.

Be interesting to launch a drone that could follow them home.
