If he needs a legal defense fund, I'll contribute.

Drone was over his property, was there a while, hovering, has a camera, one story said his daughter was out back by the pool fwiw. I agree with him, it's no different than if this drone owner had just walked into his yard and sat down.
3 shots of #8 birdshot later and no more drone. Then four guys pull up and get out and are very mad he shot down their drone. To which this guy, with a Glock on his hip, suggested that if they crossed the sidewalk to his property there was going to be another shooting.
He's right IMO, it's a basic privacy issue. No one has a right to hover a camera over my back yard and film me or anyone else and I doubt the cops are going to come out and arrest the thing.
