They're having problems at the Opera Wild Fire in Riverside County, California. There are people flying drones in the area shooting video of the fire and that grounded all the fire fighting choppers. They are asking people to cease and desist but still the choppers are grounded because of lack of cooperation.
Big fire, choppers grounded

Wow, what a bunch of morons...toss them in jail, seriously.
Shoot the drowns and arrest the operators. Ed
I think FCC should regulate them and add a broadcast serial tag while operating and registry.

I would guess an issue is that a lot of them are so small that they might not be seen until it's too late and they've already damaged or brought down a chopper.
I bet all these "rogue" drone operators think they're really cool anti-authoritarians...and would wet their pants if cops or federal agents showed up at their doors.

Same people who: Park in handicapped spots because it's just for a couple minutes
Stop traffic to make an illegal turn over a pair of double yellows and two separate solid white lines to the gas station because doing it legally will take them one minute.
Driving straight from a turn only lane because they don't want to wait.
Speeding up to cut someone off who is trying to back out of a parking space.
The exception to the rule when it suits them. Rant over.

This reminds me of an article I was reading the other day about how satellites are getting so cheap to launch and more and more are being launched that at some point in the not too distant future the space junk floating in orbit could pose a threat to our future abilities for launching important satellites and astronauts.

Hmmm... yeah let's shoot high power rounds into the sky... to come down miles away...
Jamming or electronically disabling maybe.

I surely hope not using any solid projectile. I suggested a 10 gauge . With a couple ounces of #8 it looks like a swarm of fast gnats and will go no further than hundred or so yards with any force.

You obviously don't understand how a shotgun works.

Yeah I literally laughed out loud. "High power" rounds out of a shotgun?? W T F? Its a shotgun. You would shoot bird shot in it to disable a drone. Any shot would fall to the ground harmlessly within 200-300 yards, hurting nothing.

I'm all for licensing hunters to shoot drones without say flashing red lights. Legal operators can strobe their drones as a condition of use. No strobe - fair game

First off, the OP didn't say shotgun did he? Second, pretty big assumption the shooter will be in shotshell range to begin with. Shooting them down is just dumb (luck). Drone jamming gear will be part of LE's standard kit in the near future.
