Oh brother.Hope he gets full access to the footage. Could be very interesting/embarrassing for the owners...see what they're really looking at. Maybe bring them up on a few extra charges.My question is, in shooting drones, is it better using a 12 gauge or a pistol. I would lean to the shotgun.
Have a good weekend men, I'm outta here...can't take any more, need a cigar

I would lean to the shotgun.Practicality suggests shotgun as the pellets do not travel as far as the bullet from a hand gun or rifle. not to mention many more chances in 1 shot to actually hit the drone in a shotgun than a rifle or pistol.
Hazzuh!

Didn't get the whole 'looking at another house' reasoning. I think we all know what they were doing... justifying the shooter, imo. Being a gun owner, he should have know about the firearms rule though. People will just find alternate means to bring them down...
