Drones over Northeast

I would do the same with any drone flying in my personal space.  And if a rock didn't work, I'm a great shot with a 12 gauge.
Agreed,  there's no reason for anyone to fly a drone in someone's personal space.  I don't blame you,  I'd been hurling rocks or something at one to,  if in that situation.  A 12 guage should definitely fix the problem. That's something I'd definitely consider too. 

And camera's,  many of the smaller drones even have camera's.  A lot of youtubers use drone footage in their videos.  That's the last thing I'd want,  someone flying a drone around my personal space taking video or photos.  I'm a big time prankster,  even I wouldn't pull a stunt like that! Besides I'm terrible with technology, I'd just end up crashing the thing lol
