If might not be healthy to be outside at night after Jan 20, in cities where these drones are flying. Getting hit by one or on crashing to the roadway in front of you after a 12 gage blows it out of the sky may not be a healthy thing.
I don't blame them either. Have had recreational drones in my neighborhood, I considered downing, but didn't as I do not shoot in my yard, as my neighbors (like myself) are prone to calling the cops, and I didn't want it damaging somebody's roof car or kid. If at night, I might not be above shoot one down over the golf course, past the tree line, as there are multiple routes in and out, under covered and conceal paths to wooded areas back to my house. I hope everybody up there uses good sense, gets nobody hurt and does not get caught, and of course, do not misidentify and shoot somebody's Cessna on a night flight.
Doubt you'd have to. If it happens, I suspect you and the go bag need to be heading South / Southwest if wishing to avoid the fallout. As for the drone, I suspect you are far enough in the country to drop one, without it being a community known happening.Blah, I'd not walk across the road to see an Atomic Annie blast.
They launched those drones from US Navy ships.
What about a 30-06 round?
I have heard some are the size of Volkswagen Beetles, and operating on frequencies not used by commercial and recreational drones. Nope. Something is up, er.., in more ways than simply in the night sky.
Nah.....they're just screwing with people's heads.
I suspect that would do it, if somebody like me or you and if lucky, even then, due to training. Easy to miss, shooting at flying target, at night, looking up. Duck hunters like 12 gage and 10 gage, even in the daytime, so probably the way to go. Shooting toward the sky in or near a city, has obvious drawbacks, where a miss with a shotgun, not as dangerous with the round come back down.
