I hope they're just talking tough and wouldn't actually be launching FMJ or lead projectiles into the air indiscriminately in anything even remotely resembling a populated area.
Also consider there may be legal implications - some places allow you to own firearms but have laws against discharging them - even on your own property. Stupid, but many laws are. That doesn't mean they still can't get you in trouble potentially. If someone happened to hear or see you blasting away you might get a visit from the local popo and they probably wouldn't be too gentle about it knowing they were going up against a "mentally unstable individual with a firearm" or whatever it was dispatched as.
Like I said, it's situation dependent. If it could be done safely and without undue risk of getting arrested I say go for it. People should respect each others' privacy and property and that means not being stupid and flying camera-equipped drones around without property owners' permission. I know if anyone flew a drone (particularly one with a camera) over my property I'd have no reservations about capturing or destroying it.

Hey now... don't go all logical/responsible on us now!
I say lob a small nuke up there at it, let the chips fall where they may!!
There is a lot of presuming what a "drone" is and what it is up to. Suppose your neighbors scrimp and save to buy little Billy a quad copter for Christmas... then on his first flight you waltz out into your backyard and blow it out of the sky with your 12 gauge.
