Shooting at a drone is irresponsible, silly, pointless and in many respects illegal. You don't know what's "behind your target" in the sense that the bullet's gonna come down somewhere, eventually. I believe you'll also find that you don't own the airspace above your property the way you may think (the drone is not a registered aircraft in this regard), and that discharging a firearm within your town is a great big no-no. Those of you out in the middle of nowhere may not care about that even though that's an irresponsible and non-law-abiding outlook, but those same folks should consider that the drone may have filmed you breaking the law.
I agree completely in the wish that we could just shoot at them, it seems like a fun and satisfying thing to be honest, but not only is this the same as shooting at somebody's remote controlled model airplane for kicks, firearms owners need to be much more responsible than that. We are under scrutiny and most folks think we are fearful yahoos with small brains and big egos. So do us all a favor and don't shoot at drones. You're smarter than that.
