That might have always been the case. These are arguably not drones, they are model RC aircraft. It's the media who have coined that phrase. Anyway we were acosted by the park ranger in Death Valley many years ago for flying a Slo-Stick in the park. His claim was that if it crashed that all those pieces would be all over the place and ruin the park. The ironic part was that we we're standing next to the airstrip in Stove Pipe. It's interesting that it might be OK to crash a real aircraft, but the park might implode if a slo-stick hit the ground and broke a wheelcadee2c said:This thread reminded me of an article I read awhile back.

assuming you could prove I intentionally and not accidently aimed at it...either way , as for jail ...been there, done that and I got the T shirt.Slippy said:You would be performing an illegal act, would most likely have to pay a fine, spend time in jail, AND have to reimburse the drone flier.
You lose all around, and now have a police record. The County has a few thousand dollars added to it's coffers, and the drone flier upgrades to the next better model.
Tell me how this makes you out on the winning side?
Oh, and many of these drones have remote view and record capabilities. Your aiming the shotgun at it would be used as evidence you did not accidentally discharge your firearm.

shockingly I've done many illegal acts and I got away with the vast majority of them.
here's a legal question for you. Let's say your drone crashes (for some unknown reason) on my property do you have the right to retrieve it?

You sure have a thing about drones -- are radio controlled models drones in your eyes, or...
TonyDtorch said:I heard there was a county somewhere that legalized the shooting down of drones.......sounds something like Texas would do.

I think you'd get away with shooting one down. Texas is real big on privacy. Defense would be "I was in fear for my families life!" Period. No other reason needed. I love Texas!
