72 years old and one shots a drone with a 9mm.

As dumb and dangerous as that is, I'm pretty impressed. That's a hell of a (lucky?) shot.

Good aim! The privacy concern with these things is real. The full opportunity is now there to have these fly up to your window and look into your house. Hard pass on drone deliveries.
Drones can also carry weapons, biohazards, waste, endless possibilities of exploitation, imho.

I fly drones for about 12 years. I flying (racing) drones. It's fun and an interesting hobby. But i absolutely hate the thought of these delivery drones. I honestly don't think looking into windows and stuff like that is a concern.

He doesn't even need a lawyer. As long as he gets a jury trial he could plead his own case and get acquited. No one wants these things hovering over their property.
