Right to shoot at drones

If there was a non-firearm method of downing the drone, the guy might have used that instead. A hose only has so much reach though.

hmm, directional EMP or microwave pulse? fry the electronics, and they can't even say it was you that brought it down...

or a less destructive option- an RF jammer- they most commonly use unregulated 2.4Ghz or 5.8Ghz
The simplest jammer is simply an amp for the frequency in question- run in open-loop (antenna on input and output)
This creates a feedback loop that creates so much noise the signal is lost...

Use of directional antennas would limit the impact to what you pointed it at... likely it would go into a "return home" mode when it loses signal.

I'd say someone could make a business creating these devices, but they're not really legal... so the business would be black market.
