I would think that a New Mexico rancher might just be inclined to shoot at a drone. It makes me wonder about the legaility of doing so. If someone is flying a drone over your property, is it legal to shoot it down? Would it matter if it was a “government” drone or a “private” drone? What rights do you have to airspace? I know a jetliner at 35000 feet is not a trespass. But a low-flying drone above your property? Seems WAY different to me. Enquiring minds want to know.

“Several documents refer to local law enforcement officers hearing gunshots from the ground during several drone sightings. At the January 6 meeting, federal representatives advised local officials that it is a violation of federal law to shoot at an aircraft.”
