I am wondering if the FAA has weighed in yet on the legality of making or selling a shotgun shell designed to shoot down a drone with a net.
I am of the opinion that firing at any aircraft is a Federal felony and that manufacturing or selling this ammunition would leave the maker or seller liable in court for any damages incurred.
If I am piloting my drone legally and safely and someone opens fire on it, they should suffer both legal and civil penalties for their actions.
And if you are thinking about posting some total nonsense about shooting back, DON'T! Regardless of how much you love your drone, that is felony battery at the least and attempted murder if you have an aggressive district attorney and you WILL do serious prison time for it. It might sound macho but it is stupid and indefensible.
That being said, what do you all think?
