My Dad used to say,
“Be sure your brain is in gear before you let the clutch out on your mouth”.

It's like arming the Quail. Time to break out the old 4 and 6 gauges. They are back in vogue.

"Viktor Taran, the CEO of the KRUK drone training school in Kyiv that has trained over 8,000 people, told BI that when it comes to fiber-optic drones, "the only way to take those drones down is mechanical," like with shotguns.

Pervak said shotguns can be very "effective against any kind of drone. It doesn't matter what size the drone is, what frequencies it has, or whether it is a fiber-optic drone."

Good grief, children. So out of touch with reality? Or do you really think you are funny?

it is now six (6) months that Norma have formally introduced their 12 gauge drone load, at no lesser place than the Enforce Tac.

Shoot down a drone, go to prison. Same as shooting down an airplane, here:

Not sure who Norma loads it for, I seriously doubt it would be for European civilians, for the usual reasons.

Ted, after the Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian strategic air assets and the Israeli drone attacks from inside Iran, we can be pretty well guaranteed or at least hope that there is a major rewriting of the laws and a major overhaul of defensive policies on US bases. One can imagine the damage some terrorist or Chinese cell or even some misguided kids could do to our bombers here, to the White House, the Capital.

Nobody is going to start shooting down Amazon delivery drones but the bad actor threat is so real and so apparent now that something must be done urgently. I'm not saying issue SxS's to all the border guards at US bases but on second thought it's not a bad idea as a last ditch defense.

Better yet start making Pieper 22RF volley guns.

Gene,
This video is seven years old. You are most of a decade late, and a trillion short to make any difference. We are not permitted to shoot at drones because the drones, matter.

We, do not.

"Can you shoot down drones above your property?
No. It’s illegal under federal law to shoot at an aircraft. A private citizen shooting at any aircraft – including unmanned aircraft – poses a significant safety hazard. An unmanned aircraft hit by gunfire could crash, causing damage to persons or property on the ground, or it could collide with other objects in the air. Shooting at an unmanned aircraft could result in a civil penalty from the FAA and/or criminal charges from federal, state or local law enforcement."

I copied the above from the link you posted, Ted. I highlighted one word in red. Not all drone shootings result in criminal charges. It's highly dependent on the local authorities. I know personally of one such incident at a live pigeon match where animal right's activists were attempting to video the goings on. The owner of the location gave the order to shoot it down if it came back. It did, and they did. The incident went viral and there are several youtube videos, recorded and posted by the activists.

No charges were filed, and the activists haven't been back with a drone, that I know of. It helps living in a county where you can personally know the sheriff, who is actually a sane person.

Heck. The sheriff was at the pigeon shoot

Long odds for me, Stan. If the FAA shows up, your buddy the sheriff is going to be told, in no uncertain terms, to stand down and cooperate with the Feds.

I’m not opposed to shooting them down. I’m just opposed to putting myself in a place where I have to depend on law enforcement, at any level, having to make a judgement call on a situation I’m involved in.

You are eventually going to get to a cop who doesn’t know you. Pointing out the weasel word in their regulations won’t save my ass in court.

Best,
Ted
