Completely Hypothetical Question

I was just relaxing and thinking about my day, when this purely hypothetical, curious question popped in my head. If one was so inclined, how could they crash or shoot down someone else's drone....say in a residential area. Just wondering, for no particular reason at all.

    It's a federal offense, regardless.
    You do not own the sky/air path above your property. The FAA does. There will be flight logs on the drone or transmitted from the drone.
    Shotgun works well.

    I saw on a cop show out in I believe Arizona where a guy kept flying a drone low over his neighbor's house. The neighbor got fed up and shot it down. The cops didn't do anything with the shooter due to IIRC the fact the drone was being flown too low.

    There’s no way I’m watching one of those things hover over my head or near a window without doing something.

    There are definitely rules for that.

    Can't legally discharge a firearm within 500' of a residence so that rules that out. Maybe a wrist rocket slingshot or a high powered pellet gun (both available at walmart) if the bad machine in the air won't go away. Or maybe a laser pointer might work to blind it enough that it would crash?

    FWIW I don't condone destroying a drone and would rather let it go away on it's own rather than face legal consequences. I believe that's a given; there will be consequences if one decides to take out a drone.

    We had our bad ash “back to the Fifties “ weekend this last weekend at the state fairgrounds. Second largest car show in the USA. There were signs that said “ No Drones” over the grounds.
    Cannot verify, but the rumor was two that violated the airspace were taken care of with a wrist rocket devise. Cannot verify. Just a funny rumor. Peace. D
