Is shooting down a drone a civil offense?

Here is a story about a Texas guy who spotted a drone in the air above his property, apparently taking pictures of his house.

So OT Lawyers, if I shot down a drone over my property, what would be the legal downside in court?
If I were sued, would I be likely to be able to beat the civil suit.
Are you justified in shooting down a drone over your property?

Discharging a firearm is illegal, not sure about the drone question.

You don't own the airspace over your house, think about planes that fly over. I'm not certain where in the air your property line starts though.

I wonder how your ownership of air rights comes into play here.

I just read an article that stated you own somewhere between 80-500ft of airspace over your home. The Supreme Court has refused to explicitly state the number, though.
Before air travel you owned an infinite column of airspace over your home.

There was a drone thread a while back posted by a guy who suspected his neighbor was taking pics of his wife while she was sunbathing. He wanted to break out his goose gun and start shooting. I suggested letting his kids throw wet nerf footballs at it. If hit, it would come down and he wouldn't get busted for discharging a firearm in the neighborhood.

Prolly.

Depending on where you live, I could see firing a gun directly up into the air being an issue.

If someone pulls into your driveway past a "No Trespassing" sign can you shoot then? Or their car?
For the drone, criminal violation, probably felony, and likely responsibility for paying for the damage you cause, i.e., buying them another drone and whatever it might have been carrying.
Are they breaking the law, probably. Call the police. Unless they try to fly it into your window, in which case, fire away.

I would shoot that bitch down. Then dispose of the evidence. What kind of range do those things have? I guess they have GPS on them for tracking? Even if so, they couldn't prove anything.

All of my guns shoot themselves. Often at drones for no reason. I tell them to stop but they don't listen.
