A Florida man who shot down a drone now faces multiple state felony charges, which could mean 15 years in prison, plus a separate federal charge carrying a potential 20-year sentence!

You might be asking yourself, are there ANY circumstances where you'd be LEGALLY JUSTIFIED in shooting down a drone?

The GOOD news is, the answer is YES—but the BAD news is, those circumstances are extremely limited. Let's dive into it.

FL § 790.19. Shooting into or throwing deadly missiles into dwellings, public or private buildings, occupied or not occupied; vessels, aircraft, buses, railroad cars, streetcars, or other vehicles.

FL § 806.13. Criminal mischief; penalties; penalty for minor.

FL § 790.15. Discharging firearm in public or on residential property.

FL § 784.05. Culpable negligence.

TN §39-13-103. Reckless endangerment.
