Heard this on 710KNUS Peter Boyle's show this morning, also on Daily Caller.
The small town on I-70 is paying out bounties for people who bring in drone parts. What do you use to bring down a drone? Somehow I think my 870 won't be up to the task.
And if I was a private pilot, I don't think I would fly low around the town.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
Residents of Deer Trail, Colo., a small town 60 miles east of Denver, are considering an ordinance to issue hunting licenses for drones and a bounty system to reward anyone who shoots down or damages an unmanned aerial vehicle.
I wonder how the good people of Deer Trail would feel about seeing one of these is a neighbor's yard?
Is there a noise ordinance in Deer Trail? Even with the reward for drones shot down I'm not sure it would be practical or efficient, ammo for a bad boy like this can't be cheap.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

Otis probably exceeds the idiot 13 rounds mag limit here in la la land.....but four barrels possibly rates 52 rounds if separate and traceable...... idiots in legislature......get them out 2014 and hickieblooper.
Shooters must use shotguns, 12-gauge or smaller, firing lead, steel or depleted uranium ammunition and they can’t fire on aircraft flying higher than 1,000 (a determination made using a range finder or a best guess). No weapons with rifled barrels allowed, and no tracer rounds.
An “engagement” is limited to three shots at an aircraft every two hours. Being unable to bring down the drone within those guidelines, the petition notes, “demonstrates a lack of proficiency with the weapon.”
Drones can become targets if the bounty hunter feels the aircraft is stalking them, if they maneuver as if they’re following someone, or if they display any weaponry.
But if anyone accidentally shoots down a remote-controlled toy airplane, the proposed ordinance warns, “the owner of the toy remote control aerial vehicle shall be reimbursed for its full cost by the shooter.”
Unless, that is, the toy aircraft was flying over the shooter’s property.
I'm in Deer Trail pretty often racing off road cars at the track there. That place is just a fly speck on the map with few residents... it's last place a drone would be flying over except at high speeds possibly.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
