You bet, 9mm, .45, .380, .170, or maybe use my 7.62 mauser with the scope I reserve for looters and rioters?

Ooh, target practise! I'm on it

ROFL...love this story.  I wouldn't mess with that woman, either, but given we are on acreage with no chance of hitting a live target, yeah, I would definitely take a shot at it.  More interesting than a paper target. 

Shotguns can make quite a statement, should have been more selective in where she downed it though, tractor tires are very expensive.

Good for her.  I probably wouldn't have but she sure sounds within her rights.

Could be a new sport.. drone shooting instead of skeet shooting. 

Good for her! If you have famous neighbors, life is a little different than for most of us. 

Yes I think it should be your right BUT there are laws about blasting things with your shotgun in city boundaries in most cases. 

Predation by air ....

I would certainly consider shooting it down. Drones do not belong floating over my house without my permission. 

There was a man in Texas that shot one down in his yard too.

So she just happen to have her shot gun out did she.  Too funny.  Open fields this would not be a problem.  Closer to city with more neighbors would be a bit of a problem.  Mark

DRONE WARS THE FORCE AWAKENS

I did a post on this you might find interesting.  Right now, there are no precedences for this subject so expect quite a bit of litigation. Pure attorney/lawsuit food

Not unless I felt it was too intrusive, but I'd be tempted to do so.

that neighbor is a nut job..... 

Jeff,

No, but I would report it, it is an invasion of privacy.  A

My sling shot isn't that accurate!

Shoot the drone down, file trespass charges against the owner of the drone, file a civil suit against the owner of the drone.

I don't own anything that would shoot anything.

No; if someone wants to see me naked; I'm flattered!

wow, I wonder if i should or not.  How do you put up a no trespassing sign in the air.

Probably not, but did make for good target practice!

I may, depending if it was lingering or just flying by

What she may fail to realize is that IF she missed the drone, the bullets would go somewhere...and thankfully no one was hurt.  Sounds like she knew what she was doing, but others perhaps more emotionally and reactive than responsibly reactive...

No I would not. I believe the more and more of them we see of them the more chances of this type thing happening. 

No, I would not.  If it was hovering and looking in my windows, yes.

Last guy to do that out here (a couple years back) was arrested for illegally discharging a firearm in the city limits in an unsafe manner.

Jeff Pearl I probably would not shoot one down, but I would want to know where it came from.

No.  I would not discharge a firearm in the city limits.

I am sure there are people out there would if they feel threatened.

Not me....

Jeff Pearl - I doubt!

I do not have proper 'tools'....

I don't think I would shoot it down, but I might get really annoyed and if the problem persisted I would call the police.

If I see one I will shoot it down with my sling with someone's rider ... 

That's pretty funny. I wouldn't be surprised if this happens more often with more drone use. Wonder if it's covered under the drone owner's insurance? But no, I wouldn't use a gun to shoot a dron

I would not like it. Yet, If I used a firearm to shoot a drone down then I risk injury to more than the drone.  So, I'd have to say no, I would not. 

I would not since I have no gun or anything I can shoot with, but I guess she had right to do so. 

Jeff Pearl what makes you think that I haven't? 

The concern is "what goes up, must come down".

When firing a projectile into the air in a residential neighbourhood, if you miss the drone, it's going to come down somewhere... and hopefully, it doesn't come down and damage someone's property, or worse, a resident or their loved-ones.

I probably would not but I don't blame her for doing what she did. Would be interesting to hear Robert Duvall's take on it. The best part to me is her only regret is the flat tires on her truck from the debris, too funny.

Hi Jeff - I did a little research on that, and while it is an invasion of airspace, it would fall under federal law and be subject to prosecution. Not recommended!

Define your airspace?

I wonder if there are laws yet to govern that. Don't think I would do it, but it woud be annoying.

Nope.

No.

Not me.

No, no firearms here.

That is a dangerous route to take Jeff Pearl 

No, I wouldn't. 

Jeff Pearl An interesting option. 

Since we live on 27 acres with the nearest neighbors a quarter mile away, I would know that drone didn't belong in my space. I probably wouldn't shoot it, but I expect my husband would. 

It would depend ono where they were flying it.  Close to my house...I would down  it in a second!!!
