Default OT Drone shoot in Colorado.

"Kurt Ullman" wrote in message news:F-

stuff snipped

the Supreme Court has recognized that a landowner had property
rights in the lower reaches of the airspace above their property. The
law, in balancing the public interest in using the airspace for air
navigation against the landowner's rights, declared that a landowner
owns only so much of the airspace above their property as they may
reasonably use in connection with their enjoyment of the underlying
land.


You can be arrested and prosecuted for even shining a bright laser at an
airplane. Let's have Gordon shoot down an FAA approved drone, especially a
military one, and tell us what happens. My hunch is the outcome will not be
good and it will very expensive since Predator drones retail for four
million dollars and up, depending on the "option package."

More importantly, they are designed to absorb a significant amount of small
arms fire and still function. Maybe a Vulcan minigun could do the trick but
I don't see any listed on Ebay . . .
