Gun owners risk jail for shooting drones

A Florida man faces prosecution for shooting a Walmart delivery drone. Automated drone deliveries have solved various technical and regulatory challenges to reach the market, Business Insider reported, but still face another complication: the heavily armed US population. The Florida case is one of several involving gun owners shooting unmanned aerial vehicles, in what they may not realize is a serious crime: US regulators do not distinguish between a cheap quadcopter drone and a commercial airliner. Shooting at any aircraft is a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison. Walmart and Amazon are expanding their use of drones: Armed Americans may prevent some of them reaching customers, but risk jail in doing so.
