Edit: so other people have pointed out firing ballistics into the air is actually really dangerous. Signal jamming the drone seems like a safer kind of direct action.
Could also indirectly resist the military industrial complex by lobbying state and federal governments. That would be the safest way to bring down a drone.
I was amused and showed it to my neighbor one day and he immediately (and seriously) told his wife "See, I told you we should move out of this neighborhood"
Still I think his energy would be better spent talking to our local government about setting up a drone ban.
Sure, lots of folks see homeless individuals as less than human and would happily say "Let's shoot them! Problem solved!"
But if some fine upstanding citizen's stray bullet is tracked back to him, it's potentially felony manslaughter anyway.
I spent nearly six years homeless. I used to see drones above my tent at night when camped at the foot of some bluffs below expensive housing. I don't believe the people in the expensive housing had any idea I was there. I did my best to have tree cover, to come in under cover of darkness and remain quiet and so forth.
I was trying to avoid telling that personal anecdote because I'm routinely given shit for telling my personal anecdotes to explain what I mean.
The overwhelming majority of the world lives less than a few dozen feet from their neighbors. Homes tend to cluster together even in the middle of nowhere.
Now please, pretty please, stop encouraging people to discharge their firearms into the air.
(I haven't done the math, but I know the notion that a penny dropped from the Empire State Building is false; a penny's terminal velocity is too low. And birdshot is a lot lighter than a penny.)
Bullets fired on ballistic trajectories can be lethal OTOH, That's even a machine gun doctrine to hit enemies behind cover...
