If you fly your faggy robot over someone else's shit then you deserve to have it shot down.
>not carrying a glock chambered in 40×311mmR
>>28726636
Fucker had it coming.
Don't fly shit like that on someone's private property.
These stupid little pricks with drones are annoying as hell.
>>28726636
Problem might not be the shootdownnon its own but afaik most states have laws wich forbids people to shoot the weapon around in town area (if your life isnt obviously in danger amd similar situations).
I am from austria so correct me if i am wrong but that could be a problem, right?
After all you shoot a bullet wich wont stop magically after hitting the drone and may fall on someones head.....
>>28726847
Use a shotgun loaded with rock salt and an old pillow for a suppressor.
>>28726856
Shooting a pellet gun in the air can still qualify as shooting a gun in the air. Changing the load on a shotgun probably won't matter. You're still firing a gun
>>28726636

Yes, I believe the guy was busted for discharging a firearm within city limits but also because it’s illegal to shoot at any aircraft, of which drones qualify as.
Dunno what the solution to this is, as I see that even Cabela’s is now selling drones with video cameras, but people have a right not to be spied upon while on their own property.
>>28727007

No joke. Wasn't Hornady zombie ammo just Critical Defense with a green tip? I remember getting it off clearance racks for like half price at a local store, I've still got a few boxes.
>>28726636
People could record your backyard, house, your entire area where they can basically map out a detailed attack plan for breaking in. They can also see whatever you might be doing, to the point they can see in your fucking windows.
>hurr curtains
No, I shouldn't have to keep curtains for a window to my gated backyard shut because some fucker might fly his drone into my shit. What next? If I leave a window open they can fly it inside as long as it doesn't touch anything?
>>28727038
It's even worse than that.

OMG drones! Why are you spying on me!?
>>28727079
I can do all of that by climbing a tree and looking with binoculars.
>>28727077
Yep, and the .223 was just their V-Max with a green tip.
>>28726949
>>28726963
Oh look. A couple of retards.
>>28727077
I'm pretty sure the pistol cal Z-Max is Critical Defense and the rifle cal Z-Max is V-Max.
>>28726920
While I get that it's your property and you have a right to shoot it down, can't you at least be a reasonable person and give the guy a warning first? It's not like your being threatened by the drone, why be an asshole to your neighbors

>>28727188
unless you're an amish, doing that will cause you more harm than good
>>28727184
Go knock on the guys door and tell him to stop
>>28727188
Could be some FCC regulations.
There isn't a law about flying your own drone badly and "accidentally" crashing it into the snooping drone, however.
>>28727096
Which is also illegal :^)
>>28727231
That's the point.
>>28727242
But in a fair amount of states he could legally shoot you for it.
>>28727221
LAUNCH INTERCEPTORS
Perhaps if you had a drone with a pillow or some rope strapped to the bottom, you could try to smash the payload into the rotors of the other drone? It'd save you buying another every time you wanted to fuck up someone's expensive toy.

>>28727356
Not that anon, but here you go:
goo dot gl/k9iJ3e
>>28727221
you'd lose your drone in the process
OR
you could tie a long rope to your own drone, with a weight at the bottom and fly above the invader, then tangle its rotors with the rope and fuck it up
reminds me of the battle kites we had when I was a kid, you tie a razor to a long string and try to cut the other kite to pieces with it
fun times
>>28727399
That is going to drag your drone down with it though.
>>28727399
Are you from the middle east?
>>28727407
hmm... good point
maybe make the string detachable somehow so it gets pulled with the first tug
>>28727325
The Yazuka and Tokyo police have started doing exactly that. The TPD started sending net equipped drones after the Yazuka's drug mule craft, so the Yazuka are now sending their OWN interceptor drones.
>>28727409
nope, why?
There is one solution.
>>28727413
Other problem is a weighted rope is a damn dangerous thing to fly in the air, if it lands on someone's head with the weight you are fucked.
A better idea would be someone rigging it up to drop a sheet on the drone.
>>28727132
Am I supposed to wave the communication finger and do jumping jacks to get their attention? Make a neon sign?
I don't know but to the drinkers and rage monkeys of /k/, aren't you afraid you're going to shoot somebody or yourself? I have a temper and drink so personally I don't own guns but I support the 2nd amendment
if the drone/camera is in public space then you're entitled to take pictures of whatever you want provided it isn't for commercial use. state by state laws on peeping tom shit vary so you *may* be subject to that if they can prove you're using the drone specifically to gain a view you otherwise wouldn't have legally (ie to creep on girls).
if the drone is in private space without permission, yeah shoot away.
Wait, you actually can't shoot spying shits above your property? And then shoot the fucker who comes to your property and insults you?
I thought you 'murricans were cool. That's not cool. That's a total freedom deficiency.
>>28727399
It depends on the hit. What if you glued a piece of balsawood on the bottom of your drone- pointing downwards, like the keel of a sailboat? That would be enough to fuck up the other drone's rotors, while not being too heavy for your drone or presenting a danger if it fell off.
>>28727188
Any decent jamming device will cause them to drop, hard if they don't have a failsafe programmed

>>28726636
so how did the owner know he shot it down if he wasnt watching his home with the camera? the owner openly admitted to watching his home by confronting him, which makes him fully justified in threatening to shoot them, as they are in my uneducated opinion, now an invasive entity

It's not hard proof that he was spying on the guy at the time, but it's definitely suspicious as fuck. Especially with his daughter outside like that. No tolerance for that kind of bullshit, especially when it's inside your enclosed backyard.

Thanks to an old supreme court ruling, you do. Everyone is afforded a reasonable expectation to the a right of privacy which the courts can't violate without a proper warrant.

Her main diet consists of smaller drones, but birds, bats, and even small monkeys occasionally find themselves caught in her trap.

Nope, as long as you're in your house, possibly on your property depending on the local laws, it's a privacy issue.

>>28726636

How can Joe Schmoe the redneck who lives 8 doors down from you figure out it was you who jammed the airwaves to make his drone come crashing down?
From his perspective, he was just flying over your neighbors house, and saw his drone drop out of the sky.

I want to take the magnetron from a microwave and make an EM cannon to shoot down drones. Just stick it in a parabolic mirror made from fine metal grate and fry those fuckers.
>>28731309
I've looked that up, but am worried. I heard the card serves as verification for you being able to own a firearm. I want a mussle loader but that's fucked here as well with the card. Should I rely on your statement, say, legally? As in you had experience with it? Or should I talk to my lawyer?

>Visible from public property = fair game.
Can’t provide a cite and ain’t going to look it up, but the courts have ruled that a cameraman or photographer can’t film or photograph a “common citizen” without their permission, unless it can be justified as a “newsworthy event” (i.e. someone arrested for murder doing a perp walk).
If it’s not a newsworthy event, the subject of the film or photo must be a “celebrity or well know personage for which there is public interest”, which is how the paparazzi can legally film someone like Britney Spears in her backyard, but not you or me.
Even on public property, a common citizen can only be filmed or photographed if they are not the specific subject of the shot, such as one person among a bunch of people standing around watching a parade on a public street.
Drone Shooter Dude could have legally sued Peeping Drone Guy and won, had he somehow been able to know where the guy was and called the cops on him, etc.
>itt nobody thinks about a slingshot or paintball gun
He's a moron for shooting his gun at a non life threatening issue. Drones are flimsy trash. A paintball gun or slingshot would wreck one.
>>28731999
You'd be hard pressed to hit a 2x2 target 100 feet in the air with either.
Shotguns are literally made for that.
>>28732029
>You'd be hard pressed to hit a 2x2 target 100 feet in the air with either.
I doubt it was precisely 100 feet up. Probably more like 50. Are you telling me a handful of frozen peas loaded into a slingshot won't knock that thing for a loop?
>>28731184
The joke is it's for niggers
>>28732048
>frozen peas loaded into a slingshot won't knock that thing for a loop
No I actually doubt that would do anything. I'd sooner get my shotgun out and blast it out of the sky in one shot then stand in my backyard lobbing a whole bag of peas at a flying robot.
>>28732090
I love this era
>>28732090
>I'd sooner get my shotgun out and blast it out of the sky in one shot then stand in my backyard lobbing a whole bag of peas at a flying robot.
And you're the kind of person that makes gun ownership a continued struggle in the civilized world. If you crash it with peas or paint, you have complete deniability. If you shoot it, you're gonna end up like the guy in the OP and get on the news and in "trouble" for it.
Or you could build a drone hunter drone and deploy it to defend your airspace. Can't be that hard to attach something to a drone that could be trigger to sabotage other drones. Maybe even just a net it can release on command.
>>28732113
If you look at the court case and the decision, you'll see that using birdshot to take out a drone and getting away with it now has precedent.
>>28731436
Not even sure if i could stand that.
>>28732102
>>28732113
I was making a joke, I'd sooner shoot a gun at it then waste my time with peas. In reality I wouldn't be doing anything but maybe calling the cops I guess, though I doubt they could do anything.. or would do anything.
>Or you could build a drone hunter drone and deploy it to defend your airspace. Can't be that hard to attach something to a drone that could be trigger to sabotage other drones. Maybe even just a net it can release on command.

Because, in complete honesty, at least half of the people that own guns shouldn't be allowed to own guns.

Except the FAA has said you own the airspace above your home to a certain altitude.
>>28733681
Source.
>>28733700
In 1946 the Supreme Court acknowledged that the air had become a “public highway,” but a landowner still had dominion over “at least as much of the space above the ground as he can occupy or use in connection with the land.” In that case the court held that a plane flying just 83 feet in the air—the commotion was literally scaring the plaintiff’s chickens to death—represented an invasion of property. The justices declined to precisely define the height at which ownership rights end. Today, the federal government considers the area above 500 feet to be navigable airspace in uncongested areas. While the Supreme Court hasn’t explicitly accepted that as the upper limit of property ownership, it’s a useful guideline in trespass cases. Therefore, unless you own some very tall buildings, your private airspace probably ends somewhere between 80 and 500 feet above the ground.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>28733791
And there's no way that home owner was hitting a drone at 500ft with buckshot. Most likely the drone was within his airspace and he defended his right to privacy and not having his home or daughter recorded without permission.
>>28733886
Sure, if it's defined at 500.
But it could be 80.
>>28733791
Dronefag was violating at least one law by having his drone hover over the house. Drones are not allowed to hover above buildings. Dronefag broke the law and invaded someone's privacy. If his drone was so expensive he shouldnt of been hovering over private property. In the report it says he hovered above the home then left and returned so it was not an accident he explicitly piloted his drone back to the home.
>>28733980
That's a safety guideline, not a law.
>>28733895
It depends on the area. In most places, it's 500 feet. If you want to know more, it's here:

>>28734016
Home owner probably shouldn't of used a firearm but drone guy had no right to hover and record his house and or daughter. It's illegal to record a regular citizen >>28731970 like this anon said. He can cry about his $1800 robot but in the end he was a glorified peeping tom. Nobody has a right to just creep on people's homes like that.
>>28734108
If that's what he was actually doing, yes.
Have they pulled footage?
>>28728338
I deal with a guy that has one every day.
They're annoying as fuck.
Keep your shit off my property and I won't shoot it, but fly it so much as an inch over my land and I'll take that thing down faster than a fucking Messerchmidt over the English Channel.
>>28734108
No but the way its described it sounds like he's just hovering and its admitted he had a camera on it so he had to at least record a little bit of the home plus the daughters photo shows it hovering. If drone guy was just flying by or something then yeah home owner fucked up. But if the home owner is to be believed and it came back to hover then that's what he had to be doing. Why else would drone guy come back over the home?
>>28728290
So you're saying I'm okay just murdering people over an annoyance?
No. Breaking their annoying as fuck piece of shit that they willingly fly into my property to stare at my shit, yeah, but killing them, no.
If that was the case I'd just go find and shoot the operator.
>>28734190
It's a DJI Phantom, they have a record button like everything else. It is not always on.

Again, maybe he was being a piece of shit, but we don't know ANY of the details apart from one picture where it was very high up and eyewitness reports.
>>28734238
Don't get me wrong anon drones are cool as fuck and are pretty sweet tools for shit it's just sometimes people are assholes with them but I agree drones get a bad wrap and paranoia and that's a shame really because they could be really useful.

My brother in law and I were working on arming one with an airsoft gun. Forget what kind of drone but the plan was to basically top or bottom mount the neccesary bits of weapon and basically aim it like pirate ships aimed cannons.
I'm unsure as to how to feel about this.
The guy's obviously a dipshit, and it turned out he discharged a gun in the city and destroyed a man's property for nothing, but he didn't *know* that, and had no real way of finding out.

No, the two party political system is the reason for this. If we had no gun crimes, no idiots with guns, there still would be people against them.

Fucking faggot idiot dicksuck magoo... You don't own the airspace above your house. I will fly my drone where I like and if you shoot it enjoy getting arrested and having all your guns taken away because you are now a felon.
I'm probably late to the party, but this guy looks like the kind of guy that would use a drone to spy on some guy's underage daughter.

Actually it's up until 10 ft above the highest built structure on that land - the 10 ft rule varies according to the local zoning rules, in cities it's a lot higher.

You can shoot his binoculars.
