Oh great, a license to fire guns randomly in the air. What could possibly go wrong with that? As my mother said, "It's all fun and games until somebody loses an eye."
… besides, ewewyone knows it's wewwy those wascally watemewons we should be wowwying about …
s/b "… weawwy those wascawwy …"
(… gawddam iPhone autocowwect!!!!!)
License – $25
ManPAD – more$
You know, I actually don't have a problem with the idea of shooting those damn things out of the sky. Mesa County has at least one, and I don't believe for one minute that it's up there our safety.
Sort-of on topic…
we exhibit at a couple of trade shows each year. I'm thinking of getting one of those indoor hobby drones and flying it around, with a banner that says "Property of the NSA." You think people would find it funny?
Sure.
… But, it'd be even funnier if you hire me to blow it out of the air!!
According to a Maddow segment picked up from WGHG about Tyndall AFB in Florida, it turns out that drones have self-destruct mechanisms. So if our intrepid Deer Trail drone hunters actually shot a drone down, it would flame out somewhere unpredictable. Not a great plan in our Colorado wildfire season. Would one have drone hunting seasons?
That is a modified F4 (mean and fast, big thrill was sitting at the end of the runway when they took off using after burners) used as target practice. The AF could not find enough pilots to volunteer to fly one while being shot at. In Vietnam they could avoid a surface to air missle (usually).
Where do you think would be the safest place in the USA for terrorists to hide, safe from drones? Exactly.
They could offer a combo license too. Drone and UFO. Plenty of those in the Republican thinking.
Of course they're talking about licensing such a hunt with 12 ga. Not going to hit one with that. But, you may get photographed attempting and then you could bitch, whine and moan when the govt began investigating you
SURPRISE: FAA Doesn't Want People Shooting Drones
Not sure if a municipal hunting liscence would change that…
