    Anyone else old enough to remember a couple of years ago when their media circus was claiming that FEMA was going to put people in camps, were abducting legal citizens and misappropriating funds?

    Honest question… If I take out my 12 ga and load it with bird shot and then fire when the drone crosses my property line. Would I be arrested for interference of federal duty?

    What it it were a slingshot? I’ve taken out a drone before with a cheap slingshot from about 50 yards

      You’ll definitely be charged for shooting at any drone, even little Timmy’s Christmas present. Expect an extra spanking if it belongs to the feds.

        You also don’t generally own a lot of the airspace above your property. Discharging a firearm within city limits is also an issue you can expect police for.

          I believe you do technically own up to a certain altitude of airspace above your property, however any and all airspace is still under the jurisdiction of the FAA. The big one for the FAA is creating a scenario where something falls from the sky and could cause damage. That’s why you can get in deep shit for even shooting at a personal drone with a BB gun, let alone birdshot.

      Depending where you live I’d be more worried about firing a gun in the city.

      City cops have prosecuted people already for destroying their spy drones though, iirc

    I am so sick of liberals and snarky arse commie turds. Shits getting real. You gonna put all that “theory” into practice? By now you shouldn’t need old ass books… I am living in that reality. A snarky commie and the liberal whats the difference? I think the snark and the libturd are one in the same. I pray for nukes everyday… desperate I am and I know life in the imperial core is no life at all.
