Last month it emerged that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had granted Amazon permission to begin testing a delivery drone prototype for its Prime Air service, a venture that aims to transport packages to Amazon customers in under 30 minutes. But there was a hitch, with the company since revealing the vehicle cleared for use had already become obsolete. Things are now back on track with the FAA giving Amazon the green light to put its current models to the test.

If your drone is hovering over my property, and especially my back yard, and I can reach it?  It's going down! These drones are going to get out of hand.  People do not have any business flying their drones over someone's property and "spying".

Well, if I had a g*n, if it isn't a law enforcement drone, and if I had a good aim..........otherwise, I could be dangerous.......lol.

Is it legal to shoot down a drone if it's hovering over my property?

The constitution says you have the right to own a gun - however it does NOT say you have the right to shoot it at anyone or anything so I would think twice before doing so.

No I wouldn't shoot it down.

 

I'd probably call the police and complain due to the invasion of privacy.  Not sure that it would make a difference.  As someone else said, if it's close enough to swat down, I'd do it.

"Hi Cherry, we'd have nothing to shoot it down with. If it had been hovering for a substantial amount of time, I'd call the police and ask for advice."

It's illegal in most places to discharge a firearm but it's not illegal yet to fly a drone over your yard and house, so you could be the one getting into trouble. I like the idea of shooting it with paint balls.
