Louisiana Becomes First State to Authorize Local Law Enforcement to Neutralize Dangerous Drones

Might come into conflict with FAA regulations, which treat drones no differently than passenger-carrying aircraft. Certainly, no state law that said "our officers can shoot down an airplane if they think it is a threat" would stand up to a legal challenge.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
 
I will suggest you use some kind of a manually operated repeater. The very idea of a semiautomatic throwing hot brass or even shotshells at totally unclothed junk must be referenced in the 5th rule of safe gun handling.

Not might, it IS in conflict with the FAA and remains illegal. Unless it could be proven to be life threatening, I suspect the shooter will be contacted and dealt with by the Feds. The Feds can impose a fine up to $250,000 and up to 20 years in jail, no matter what Louisiana says.
 
I will not abide one being flown over my house. I bought land in the woods for privacy. I might go out in my yard naked and then have them charged with taking nude photos of me without my permission.
How would you prove they were taking photos ?

Well, seeing me naked would insure that the operator passed out from the shock. (it wouldn't be pretty) So I would just have to look around for somebody all swooned out. Then while he was out, I would look at his receiver, and if he had indeed been taking pics I would abuse him while he was unconscious, if not I would just beat him up a little. ;)
 
A drone's camera, taking photos of a naked forum member, might explode.
I just break mirrors. 🤯

Suh! You insult me. I may be old, fat and ugly, but I know for a fact I ain't that ugly because my dog still plays with me.

One thing certain, if you found the guy operating the thing and opened up a big can of whoop-butt on him, it is not a federal charge! I somehow doubt that my local law enforcement or DA would have much sympathy for the operator overflying private property like a peeping tom.

This is undoubtedly true, but haven't state marijuana laws set a precedent of overriding federal law?

Not to mention the sanctuary city / state garbage.
 
My dogs like me too, but I do give them treats. I think one of them might take one down, if it was low enough.
