Shooting drones? Good luck.

A resident of Deer Trail, Colo., is circulating a petition that would authorize the city to grant a one-year license for drone-hunting.

My platoon ran a one-day “Engage Aircraft with Small Arms” range at Fort Hood. All line companies in the battalion and some of HHC fired at a plastic foam radio-controlled aircraft about six feet long, using M16A1 rifles and M60 machine guns. The target operator flew the airplane at a designated height back and forth in front of 30 shooters at a time.

How many hits did the target take?

None. Zero.

Maybe Colorado shotgun shooters are better shots than soldiers using rifles and machine guns … but I don’t think so.

It’s a good idea, though, the licensing. Lets the government know what people think about spying on citizens.
