2. If an unknown drone was caught peeking in windows or spying

on your nude sunbathing daughter or wife does an armed citizen have the right to shoot them down or should they not? It might be from Google Streets.

That's the question that we all need answered. If a drone is trespassing do we have right to depose of such inanimate intruders who violate our right of privacy? Drones probably don't have an ID or do they knock on the door and then ID themselves.

I might buy an AR15 with a 100 round drum and dedicate it to that purpose. Am I wrong?
