Shooting Drones Legally

About this video

Colion examines a proposed Florida law that would allow homeowners to use reasonable force, including shotguns, against drones flying below 200 feet over their private property. He breaks down the conflict between state legislation promoting privacy defense and federal law that classifies all drones as protected aircraft, warning viewers about potential federal charges. Colion discusses the vagueness of “reasonable force,” analyzes media coverage showing different political angles on the bill, and humorously suggests compact shotguns like the Mossberg 990 Aftershock as potential drone deterrents.

Key takeaways

• Colion reports that Florida’s proposed bill would permit shooting down drones below 200 feet over private property, but warns this conflicts with FAA federal law treating drones as aircraft
• According to Colion, the bill’s “reasonable force” language is vague and could lead to legal confusion, lawsuits, and potential federal charges for homeowners
• Colion speculates that federal resistance to drone-defense laws might serve government surveillance interests by keeping all drones legally protected
