What's A Good Bullet For Bagging DRONES?

I'd tend to use goose loads in a shotgun. If you can hit ducks/geese, you should be able to take down drones.

I just did a quick search and "legally" any drone- comercial or private - can fly over your property with little restrictions--- they can't fly faster than 100mph or higher than 400 feet but right now, there seems to be no federal limit as to how low they can fly as long as they don't cause any property damage, cause undue stress, or take pictures without consent, or fly at night without consent. It's a pretty gray area still.
I wonder if any individual states have set limits as to how low you can fly.

My old work bought a drone to do stockpile inventory on their property-- only to find out that because it was used for comercial purposes it need a pilots certificate, insurance policy was recomended, and had to file flight plans-- they also failed to realize that 1/2 of their property was close enough to an airport and 2 military bases that it was in a "no fly zone" ---- that's corporate office intelligence for you.

They later used a company that provided a service of the same thing they tried to do....that company actually refused to fly any closer than 25' to other people's property lines, they set a strict limit of 99' flight height, and all video footage was blurred out by computer software if it was of other people's property (and yes they filed flight plans with the faa)

I heard there were roofing companies using drones to assess shingle damage in specific areas--- supposedly they were using live video footage and not recording anything as this was deemed " not an invasion of privacy" --- but I can't find any proof of that online.

You can complain to local authorities and/or the faa about drones but I'm not sure they will follow up in a timely manner. I do know that within city limits anything mechanically propelled, propelled by air or buring powder or explosion is considered a "firearm"--- so technically bb guns, archery, paint ball guns, air soft guns, sling shots--- i suppose even nerf guns you can be charged with "discharging a firearm within city limits"-- had a friend charged with this for archery practice in his back yard in the city, charges were dropped but attorneys fees were involved

Luckily I'm not within city limits and have never seen nor heard any drones near my area since I've lived here .......S.S.S. ........ I don't have any firearms anyway--- they all fell off my boat a while back

Lower than 400 feet will cause me undue stress.

What goes up must come down. Works for drones and projectiles. I think there are many that are sick of hearing and seeing drones in a city setting. Out in deer camp, beware drone guy.
