Ha, what a moron..

"the man now faces several additional charges, like possessing a firearm as a convicted felon, in addition to criminal mischief."

While I ain't no criminal mastermind...If I were a convicted felon who was prohibited from owning firearms..and somehow found one in my possession...I damn sure wouldn't shoot at a drone....

His conviction was back in 2013, if he lived in AZ, he coulda already had his rights restored

Everyone knows you have to ghillie up to shoot down drones.

Or maybe this since it's Florida.

I understand that ...the article , such as it was...poor reporting and all....did not state that his Rights were restored.

My point was...
If you are already guilty of doing something against the law...like being a convicted felon* and you are in possession of a firearm....Why do something to get law enforcement's attention...?
*As in one who does not have his Rights restored....

Could give a neighbor kid a bucket of rocks and a wrist rocket and taken care of the problem.

They need to deputize little hamsters to pilot the drones then it'd be another felony.

If you're gonna get busted, for cryin out loud make it more than a .22lr.

 

[Andy54Hawken]

I wonder if...
You had a bucket of water...and "threw" the water into the air...the water would knock down the drone...if the drone were low enough...

After all...its a hot day in Florida...and water falling down on you is just to cool off.....nothing illegal 'bout that.

You gotta give the bugger credit for downing it with a rifle though.

IANAL -- but I am pretty sure it is a Federal Felony to Fire at any Air Craft.

Is It Legal to Shoot Down a Drone? - Laws101.com

Before you grab your shotgun and point it at the flying menace, here’s everything you need to know about the legality of drones.

laws101.com

So, shooting it down would be a violation of US Code 32 and could see you spend a considerable portion of your life behind bars if convicted – up to 20 years!

I actually found a drone in a tree in my back yard last month. It had NO BUSINESS being in my back yard.

I have been keeping it in the back and I talk to it while I am doing yard work.
