In reply to the discussion: Kentucky man shoots down drone hovering over his backyard [View all]DFW
(54,387 posts)His 16 year old daughter is sunbathing in their yard and a drone comes to hover right over it? Hell, yeah, he's justified in shooting it down, especially with something as innocuous as birdshot. Then four guys pull up in a car and start to menace him. FOUR guys? These are not casual peepers. Sounds more like a porn site team looking for some free material. They sure as hell did not act like they were shooting a nature documentary for National Geographic. The guy never pulled his gun out of his holster and said, in effect, that he wouldn't unless they crossed onto his property. Threat uttered, threat countered. No one hurt, no lethal weapon drawn, no shots fired.
We can only wish a couple of hundred killer cops in our country would have practiced similar restraint.
