I do have to agree here. There are some unreasonable people out there that will fly off the handle with little provocation. However, in general I find people generally have some kind of reason to be so intolerant (not that they’re right per say). As mentioned by another poster, the neighbor...

To be fair, if I was to get to that point personally, it would have to be a persistent problem where I’ve already told the operator multiple times to cut it out. There are people with much lower tolerance than me out there however.

If you can’t read the tongue in cheek humour in my statement, I’m not going to spell it out on a public forum lol

I agree. The op didn’t deliberately do anything. But now that he knows the property owner doesn’t like what he’s doing over his garden, such a flight would be deliberately annoying him. Just because you can legally do something, doesn’t mean you should. At the end of the day, the annoyed...

Well, some of us just need to compensate by driving bigger trucks and shooting bigger guns... it’s been going on since the beginning of time... why do you think they bred those giant Budweiser horses in the first place? Or invent those giant swords he-man couldn’t even swing without falling over?

Alright, I’m done trying to point out the stupidity of deliberately annoying people with your drone flying. Go be a menace to your neighbors, ignore their requests to stop and fly over all the yards you want because you can. Sooner or later enough annoyed people will push back and the only way...

If I was willing to go through with shooting down someone’s drone (that has no business buzzing around my house in the middle of nowhere anyway) I don’t think I’d have issues going toe to toe with the pilot when he gets upset about it...

I recently got myself a Mavic Pro. Though I have several rc planes I have collected built and flown over the years ... a nitro mustang and Corsair, a few electric gliders, some nitro float planes. I had gotten my private pilot license with the intention of building an advanced ultralight kit...

You are completely right with the law as written... You could also get into some pretty serious trouble operating an aircraft while impaired for drinking a beer on your back deck while flying your drone around, but it’s up to the federal authorities to enforce these laws. I don’t think the...

Not particularly. My use or misuse of firearms isn’t really the issue here. In the OPs case, I didn’t see anything all that concerning in the little video clip. However, he was asked by a neighbor to cut it out. Now, he can be right and keep doing what he’s doing. He won’t likely get into any...

Whatever you guys say... I guess over a decade of marksmanship awards and years as a small arms instructor doesn’t mean anything. Bottom line is, you annoy your neighbors enough, no matter how right you are, someone is eventually going to take matters into their own hands and you’ll likely get...

Sorry, but after 16 yearsin the army, consistently earning marksman, I think I likely know how to handle firearms better than most... now, if your flying a drone in such a way someone can get a shotgun and shoot it down in their yard, I’m sorry, but you are the problem.

Maybe if I deliberately targeted the drone... but if I’m legally shooting clay pigeons on my property, and you foolishly fly your drone in the way... we’ll, accidents happen...;p or maybe it was scaring my animals... You usually got rights to protect your livestock from threats that take...

Personally, I say there was nothing wrong done, base on the little video clip... however, as a property owner, if I’m constantly being annoyed by someone’s drone flying around above me, I just might get fed up enough to exercise my right to practice with my shotgun... It’s less a matter of...
