Florida Man shoots down police drone with .22

[The Heretic]

Trained hawk for the deniability win.

Or an attack drone

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

& it only took him 2 shots

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

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.

Nah, give the kid one of these:

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!

Hopefully everyone in this thread knows we are joking.

Which is why I use my electromagnetic pulse ray to drop 'em, no traces, just a dead drone.

IIRC Jason Bourne shot down a Predator UAV in a recent movie.

You have to admit it would be fun to shoot down a drone, lol

Fun and legal, and more challenging than a hovering drone..

Hopefully everyone in this thread knows we are joking.

And of course beware of glowie activity.

Did he do with a .38 snub from the hip like Steve McGarrett would have?

A damn good shot... but why were police drones watching him? Baiting him into doing something dumb? (Yes, I know he's Florida man lol)

Should have used a barrage of bottle rockets.

 

[edzz]

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








Lolz

Not hamsters, use prairie dogs.

After all officers are already being partnered with dogs.

 

[edzz]

Hopefully everyone in this thread knows we are joking.

WE?
What you got a hamster in your pocket?

 

[Alexx1401]

Expensive but damn that would be fun!!

 

[Bon Sauvage]

It is only expensive if you can't hit it.

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....
Andy

I have noticed making trouble for oneself is a mark of many convicted felons

 

[titsonritz]

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....
Andy

Kind of puts his mentality into perspective, don't it?
