Colorado Town Considers Letting Residents Shoot at Drones

Drones could join coyotes as prey on the dun-colored prairie if voters in Deer Trail, Colorado, population 563, approve a measure today allowing the town to issue hunting licenses for unmanned aerial vehicles, reports Bloomberg.

“That plan is a taking of property rights, a taking of civil rights,” said Phillip Steel, who wears a black duster coat and a cowboy hat. “According to a 1964 Supreme Court decision, a property owner owns airspace up to 1,000 feet above the ground.”
