Activists’ drone shot out of the sky for fourth time
Animal rights activists in Pennsylvania are reporting that hunters have shot down a drone that was recording a shooting event at a private club. (www.suasnews.com) さらに...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Has anyone considered where the bullets might land? Using a rifle is endangering people for miles around when shot skyward. The local LEO should be going after the shooters for that. Now using a shotgun is another matter, for the pellets may not fly beyond the private property. That is why some jurisdictions require shotguns for deer hunting to limit the range of the projectile. Regardless of the animal rights people, the LEO should be protecting the peoples rights not to take a bullet from the sky.
That occurred to me too. Local rules vary, but the target- er RC chopper was above the road so around here this would apply:
Calif Fish & Game code
§ 3004. Shooting Near Building; Safety Zone; Shooting Over or Across Public Road or Way Open to Public
(b) It is unlawful for any person to intentionally discharge any firearm or release any arrow or crossbow bolt over or across any public road or other established way open to the public, in an unsafe and reckless manner.

You are absolutely right about shooting a rifle into the sky. My impression was that it was a shotgun, but I don't know that it was fully spelled out. Nevertheless, I think the remote-controlled 'copter needed plunkin'. Just one man's opinion, though.
Did they glue antlers on it to make it an easier target? At least they tried to send the message that they were not harming any animals.
When will drones start shooting back?
Are we even sure that these alleged "pigeon shoots" are actually going on? I haven't seen one bit of evidence other than some fanatics claiming so. Could very well be a sporting clay match and this is just a bunch of anti-gun zealots pulling the heart strings of the general public. I's shot that sucka down too!
