New law would give feds the right to shoot down private drones in U.S.

Shotgun? Net? Fed that unloads into the air? You own everything behind your target.

You’re telling me that if an LEO CURRENTLY perceives a threat from a drone, that he WON’T shoot it down?

God I hope I get a button I can press to shoot down a drone in my final

Sounds fun. Clay pigeon v2.0. 'Cept for the pesky kevlar wrapped composite models... that rind is tough.

edit: But it gets one thinking. What if you could manufacture really cheap disposable ceramic models and program 'em to fly duck-like accelerations and flight paths??

Should I mount guns on my plane or simply shoot out the window?

Get some!

About damned time.

Some of you must not know much about a bullets trajectory.

“I observed the 8 oz quad copter make a furtive movement in the direction of Bass Pro Shops, which has a firearms counter.”

This is a step in the right direction. Hopefully this will lead to allowing ANYONE to shoot down a drone over their property!

Got a buddy who 3D prints most of his own parts. Everything else + electronics come from cheap Chinese suppliers. He can build a basic quadcopter for about $8-10 all in - the transmitter is already a sunk cost for him.

There are - reportedly - a couple of DoD contractors who are developing ways to defend against en masse UAV (I can't call em' drones....I"m trying....) attacks. Pretty fascinating stuff from what I've heard.

Maybe they're the guys developing the autonomous drone swarms, seems like reasonable way to get rid of an intruding UAV.

It’s not classified: we have RF jamming capabilities.

A guy once told me: you’ll never out run (hide) from a K9. And you don’t have too. You just have to outrun the handler.
