Shooting Down Drones Isn't Funny or Brave

While it is certainly possible that someone flying a drone in the vicinity of your property is trying to do you harm, it is by far the most unlikely scenario. A drone over your property is much more likely to be piloted by some dork who wasn't able to eyeball property limits in advance or just made a dumb mistake. A person who makes a dumb mistake or misreads property lines may very well deserve to be yelled at, or even questioned by police, but I submit he doesn't deserve to have multiple rifle rounds shot in his direction without so much as a warning--putting him at risk of serious injury or even death.
