This morning as I was leaving the house a Hot Air Balloon was flying very low over the top of my house....let's just say I was in the back yard in a compromising position, would I have the legal authority to shoot the balloon down?



If you're asking if it would have been OK to murder the occupants of a hot air balloon by shooting it down, the answer is probably "No." but we'll need an OT lawyer to verify.

Yeah that's a little different than shooting down some grown kid's toy

You should enclose your back yard so drove can't see anyone in the pool.

-more reasonably, you can purchase a projector for the back yard. Project canine images onto the drone. Contact local authorities and "let nature take its course". An airborne dog would definitely warrant lethal force...






Excellent

I would use as water hose to take it out. That way they can't accuse you of using a firearm inappropriately. There are no laws against spraying water.

Next to the Internet and the iPhone, I think drones are the coolest thing to come along in the last 20 years. It's too bad they're readily available to idiots. Definitely need to license the operators and the drones themselves.

If you think they're demonized now, wait until an errant drones cause an air crash. Oh brother...

I was Wrist Rocket man (boy) myself. I could wreck shop with a bag of marbles! Never had the cash for ball bearings...

Also, I was disappointed that I didn't see your name mentioned in the "Most badass IRL OTer" thread. I guess because the average OTer is unfamiliar w/ the AH-1 and the bad muthafrickers who flew them in Vietnam.

Have to fly a minimum of 1000 ft for a reason with the exception of take-offs and landings.

I used marbles too but I was flush with some birthday cash when I was 12 and bought the Wamo, man it was deadly for 100 feet or so. I really think it had a lot to do with my accuracy with rockets with the AH-1G

You also would have a reasonable expectation of privacy in your backyard.

Video camera on it means I am shooting it down.
