You don’t shoot at things in public, you don’t shoot into the air near populated/occupied areas, and you don’t shoot at things that don’t belong to you or you aren’t licensed to shoot at. Clearly the thing wasn’t anywhere near his property, so he’ll probably get off light considering how reckless and irresponsible this was.
You sure about that "getting off light" part? The article says he was charged with a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
Yep, according to the article shooting the drone carries the same sentencing as shooting at a commercial airliner 👀 they are taking that shit very seriously
I wonder how that works in Deer Trail Colorado where they legalized drone hunting?
If you mean "hunting and downing drones" then it doesn't matter. Federal law should trump county law.
