Drones
I read on Yahoo News (which is more of a farce than a reputable news source IMO) where many people were receiving drones (the small, civilian style, many with video cameras) for Christmas.

In my opinion, it is an invasion of my privacy for a neighbor to fly a drone over my property line to where they can monitor my and my families activities and scout our property for possible future crimes against my person and property. It seems as if people are hell bent on preserving their rights at the infringement of others rights.

While I do agree with the gov't using drones in theater, I do not agree that anyone who can afford a $200+ drone should have the ability to invade my privacy. American's have gone too far in their beliefs that they are entitled to do as they please at the infringement of others liberties.

Not sure there are any rules against using a pellet gun to take them out on your own property.

Here is a snapshot of a pretty good book I read called Drone Warfare. You have to go into it unbiased compared to what most of us were using them for in Iraq and Afghanistan and in defense of our borders.

I recommend it to all or you can listen to the audio book from your local library.

SSG Mann,

I think people should be allowed to purchase drones as long as they keep the drones on their property. If the owners begin to trespass then the drones should be confiscated by authorities.

I heard Amazon.com is thinking about using drones to make deliveries. However, this occurring is not to be expected anytime soon. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/why-amazons-drone-delivery-service-is-a-long-ways-away/

V/r,

Capt P

Sir, I agree that if they keep them on THIER property then there should be no problem. But we all know that isn't going to last long when someone gets bored flying in circles and wants to see what their neighbor(s) are doing in their bedroom etc. Plus, with there being a majority of people living in apartment complexes and sub-divisions within city limits I see nothing but problems in the future.

Now I would like to have one to use for pre-season scouting if I had a huge hunting lease.

As long as a drone had a gimble camera attached it would be easy to film another person's property as long as it was high enough but get this, the FAA governs the air space above your property. There is a 1000 ft rule for air craft and maybe drones as well.
