I see a bright future for CO2 powered net guns and sticky launchers with attached “gun cameras.”
Not a firearm nor technically an air rifle in most jurisdictions, can’t claim a miss could be lethal, short enough range to stay within the yard.
Heck, probably wouldn’t even cause a lot of damage to the drone.
Bag the thing, and wait for the owner to show up. Let them explain what it was doing within your range and over your property, as shown by your footage, to Officer Friendly.
Even better if your sunbathing relations are on camera too.

No jury in Kentucky, anyways.

I would guess that for altitudes under 100 feet, a simple paintball gun or a potato gun might be sufficient to ground a small drone.
And then accidentally stepping on it while trying to see if it had any owner ID should, or course, be avoided.

He’s just doing what noted firearm and legal advice giver Joe Biden said to do.

I mean, how does he know it isn’t a hunter/killer? Shooting them down is the only way to be sure.

I’m just over here like “Dayummm…a 40mm Glock?”

Since we all know reporters know zilch about guns, I’m betting it wasn’t really a 40mm Glock. It was probably a 40mm Bofors.
