Shotgun Diplomacy Gone Wrong

When a drone buzzed over his property, this suburban London farmer decided enough was enough. Grabbing his shotgun, he went full “country justice” mode and blasted the intrusive gadget out of the sky. While the act may have felt victorious in the moment, it didn’t exactly end well.

The farmer found himself facing legal trouble for taking matters into his own hands a
nd even lost his right to use the firearm in the city. It’s a classic case of “don’t bring a shotgun to a drone fight.” Next time, maybe a less aggressive tactic—like politely asking the drone operator to buzz off—would save him the drama (and his shotgun privileges).
