All right, I’ve thought this out. The type of shot is the restriction-even 00buck only goes so far. And you’re likely to miss at say 100 yds bc the shell only has 9 pellets.

But, what about a green laser mounted on a stock, could you burn out a drone camera with a commercially owned laser? I don’t know Jack about cameras or lasers. But it seems unless you can package a small focused EMP or jammer you’ll not be able to defeat a drone rushing at you with a mortar round like we’ve seen in Ukraine.

So out of pure curiosity. You are saying it’s illegal to shoot my own drone down on my own property?

Question: is it ON your property or ABOVE your property? At what altitude is it no longer ON your property? I'm asking as I don't know. If it's FLYING, no matter the altitude, is it under the purview of the FAA as one here has stated?

Not disagreeing but is the shotgun clay still on “my property” so to speak?

The shotgun clay isn’t regulated by the FAA.

It's not the drone that's 20' above your pool, it's the drone that's 200 yds away with a really good camera . That drone, if you think about it, is probably going to be off in the distance, watching you / video surveillance. Not directly above you. Just far enough away "not to bother you", hell, probably far enough away not to even hear it, but still well within range of a really good camera.

Between our phones in our pockets, and drones above, and spyware on our computers and smart TV's, we are constantly under surveillance.

More and more, an expectation of privacy is a luxury most people are giving up. Without privacy, we are subject to all sorts of manipulation and control by both corporations and government.

A good laser will burn out the iris of a digital camera. Maybe not with an immediate flash, it’s probably going to take a second or five…

Take a look at the size of the camera on your phone. Hell, look at a 35mm digital camera.

Now hit that with a laser at 200-300 yds.
Then complicate the problem by attaching the camera to a moving object.

(I hate being pragmatic )

Just the tracking & surveillance capabilities of any smartphone alone is enough to scare the shit out of anyone rational. Yeah, the one in 99.9% of peoples pockets!
Take a City like Chicago or London.
Even a small town.
The amount of video surveillance is incredible. Anything from surveillance cameras, then security cameras on businesses, down to RING/Nest doorbell cameras… then the ability to link (even some of) them together, in real time.

Here we are, discussing what shotgun, length of barrel, and size buckshot is going to work on a drone that some neighbor is using to get photos of my wife’s nice ass in my yard, yet most (99%) of us voluntarily went out and spent -/+ $1000 on something that tracks our every move, every discussion that we tote around every day.
“Hey, Siri- go fuck yourself!”

Not my TV’s. You can eliminate that problem once you buy it. Never put it on the internet. If you don’t give it your WiFi information, the panel is dumb.

I will never give up my expectation of privacy. Some drone comes onto my property filming me without my consent I’ll shoot that fucker down.
