I have not but I think I would use 6 shot.

Did it simply fly by, or did it linger and move about. They are often used for surveying wildlife, power lines and whatnot, and a flight pattern is programmed into it. Those will just be flying buy in a straight line and maybe come back a fair distance away on a parallel path to cover a wide swath or a big grid pattern. It hung around a bit I from what the wife said. I was not there and that's my problem. I would have smoked it very quickly with any of the shotguns conveniently placed. I'm sure 4 buck or 00 buck would have worked well enough.

A new user may not realize how close they are to a home and just be experimenting. Going out and waving them off should address it if that is what is going on. Even if you don't get a chance to do that, they should quickly realize the error of their ways and not repeat. Beyond that I would be concerned and willing to use the shoot down option and/or notify LE. The LE option may be the best route depending on your situation. LE is more for people in town. Out on the farm we tend to handel things ourselves. LE takes to long to respond. Figure they can let me know if whoever from it is is to worried to come pick it up if they want it back.

Insurance companies use drones to inspect roofs of property they insure. But I think they would let someone know if it was obvious someone was home
For by grace are you saved by faith, and not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.

You dont own the air above your house.if you shoot it down be prepared to pay after the court case.

Its the Gubmint collecting intel on you. Amazingly, Boco is probably right about something happening in America. A huge number of rural counties are using drones to explore and take pictures of properties for tax assessments. They did it here. Keith

Here where I live you get a jury. I doubt folks would be very sympathetic if one was looking in windows or scouting for theft.

How is it a crime to shoot a piece of plastic from your own yard, above your yard, without shooting across property line? It’s like shooting skeets. The mess stays on your yard. Anyone has a problem with that is an idiot.

You dont own the air above your house.if you shoot it down be prepared to pay after the court case. I have no problem with this. It's no different than someone looking in my windows, they will get a load of buck shot also. This is not Canada we have the right to self defense. Besides I would love to see they try to charge an 11 or 13 year old for shooting down a drone over the house they thought was looking in the window at their mom or sister. I don't believe the owner would come knocking wanting it back. They may send the sheriff deputies. Either way I can afford to pay for a drone. I can't afford to take chances about child predators and or thieves watching my home. Common since is not to fly that low to someones house.

You dont own the air above your house.if you shoot it down be prepared to pay after the court case. I am going off memory from my former life a few years ago but FAA Part 107 restricts use over "populated" areas. By FAA designation, "Populated" is a person, home or automobile."
I have nothing clever to put here.

I think Danny has a great idea BUT a child with a pellet gun might be the solution that wont involve DAs or lawyer types.

shoot my drone without a license; I probably won't get a license either.
