    How does that slippery slope start? If you aren't doing anything illegal, you shouldn't have nothing to worry about. Uh huh.

    I would venture to guess the majority of the objections have NOTHING to do with an attempt to conceal illegal activity and are much more about the fact that everyone has property with some kind of value that they don't want to disappear, as well as the simple decency of respecting someones privacy...

    One of my neighbors sells drones online for a living and has hundreds of them in their garage. The cheapo ones, that are basically toys, have been found in many of the neighborhood backyards and on at least two roofs that i know of... I would love to be able to launch a net up at them or something, and leave the pieces in their yard instead of my own, but I would never consider shooting at them with a gun, that is until they started hovering outside a window while someone was showering.

    Christ, I can't say what I'd really want, but what a bunch of irrational children. Make us really look like a bunch of hillbilly bumpkins sometimes.

    Don't you dare suggest any similarities to being afraid of inanimate objects being abused by people with bad intentions.

    It wasn't 4k (didn't exist, shit, I don't think HD did either), but I had a model rocket with a camera on it back in the day.

    Not really apples to apples, but it's still the point.

    Honestly, a kite would be even easier than a quad... You don't have to have the wireless video transmission.... You can use the rope to run a data/video cable.

    Back to the real topic of the thread...


    The simple answer here is that there is new tech that isn't going away, and as long as there is a human element involved, there are going to be douche bags with said tech that will do the douche baggery...

    I have a sneaking suspicion that most that shoot a drone over their property are going to be red-flagged pretty quick anymore.

    1. Discharging a firearm in a neighborhood is verboten everywhere that I know of (city limits thing)
    2. Announcing that you have firearms to douche bags that just lost their $2k toy, why wouldn't they be vindictive and get your guns confiscated for a year...
    3. Likely going to get the police involved... (revert back to #1)... May not even be the drone the owner...

    While some of these cases may appear to go the way of the shooter, the reality of the situation is likely to be a very negative thing for a pro-2A person shooting a drone out of the sky...

    So, if youre of the belief you should be allowed to shoot at drones in defense of your property boundaries:
    1) Are the drones, being someone elses property, then allowed to shoot at you?
    2) Do you have the right to launch space vehicle weapons at geo-sync sattelites because google earth has enough resolution to see your nipples?
    3) Why would you then violate your own privacy by talking about shooting at drones, and what they might see if you dont, by posting about it on public forum?
