    You’ll definitely be charged for shooting at any drone, even little Timmy’s Christmas present. Expect an extra spanking if it belongs to the feds.

      You also don’t generally own a lot of the airspace above your property. Discharging a firearm within city limits is also an issue you can expect police for.

        I believe you do technically own up to a certain altitude of airspace above your property, however any and all airspace is still under the jurisdiction of the FAA. The big one for the FAA is creating a scenario where something falls from the sky and could cause damage. That’s why you can get in deep shit for even shooting at a personal drone with a BB gun, let alone birdshot.
