Kentucky Man Arrested After Shooting Down Drone; cites right to privacy
Hillview, Kentucky resident William H. Merideth describes his weekend: "Sunday afternoon, the kids – my girls – were out on the back deck, and the neighbors were out in their yard. And they come in and said, 'Dad, there's a drone out here, flying over everybody's yard.'" Merideth grabbed his shotgun and waited to see if the drone crossed over his property.

use a bug zapper wand...I bet the electricity would do wonders to the drone
so if someone was about to kill him he should not shoot them BS the cause over rules that.
I believe that case is covered by the rule prefer to be judged by 12 than carried by
Get a very long pole. Fix a fly swatter to one end. Use same on drone. Drone downned. No arrest.
A similar incident happened here in middle Tennessee recently. However, the guy didn't shoot it down. He did find out where the owners lived and the owner was arrested for trespassing.

I would be more concerned about a 5 or 10 pound drone (quadcopter) coming down on my head from 50 or more feet, with at least 4 rotors spinning nylon propeller blades and causing slashing and impact damage on my 16 year child or my own body than I would some birdshot that has hit a target and is scattered. Seems under the Kentucky law quoted below,for wanton endangerment, the "drone" operator put other people in danger without their permission by flying it over their persons. Sounds like wanton disregard for safety and conduct that put the person who shot it down at risk of injury or even death by blunt force. Those lithium poly batteries aren't light and those blades are like spinning knives. The police should of, at a minimum also taken the drone operator into custody for violating the reckless endagerment statute.
