Once drones are in-flight, they are aircraft and have the same protection as any other aircraft such as a small plane or commercial airplane. As crazy as it sounds, shooting at one would be the same punishment as shooting at one of these. In addition, they are extremely difficult to hit. We attempted this at various ranges and even the best shooters were unsuccessful. Some companies make a net-type round fired from shotguns to entangle the blades, but this has to be done at close range.

In addition, if you were successful in either taking control of the drone by electronic means or physical means, you become responsible for the results if it crashes and injures someone or destroys property.

The military has methods of dealing with them, but not the civilian population.
