Tarheel Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I guess if it was over your property and annoying......you could take appropriate action. "If you own the soil you own what's below it and to the heavens above". May vary state to state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I have wondered about that. There must be some altitude limit because you definitely may not shine lasers at aircraft. Also in Texas it is common to not own the mineral rights to the land your house is on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedcrankcammer Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Laws alreadt exist about no guns on personal aircraft, which this would already fall under. I'll bet he is already in trouble as I saw this better than a week ago! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Travis In Austin Posted July 25, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 25, 2015 Laws alreadt exist about no guns on personal aircraft, which this would already fall under. I'll bet he is already in trouble as I saw this better than a week ago! You can still carrry firearms on a general aviation (not for hire) aircraft. I have flown with my guns in my plane to go hunting in several states, and Canada. It is more complicated to go into Canada, and the tricky part is going into an airport with commercial operations and TSA. But generally, if you are legal to possess a firearm, and it is a legal firearm, and it is secured, you are protected under the federal "Safe Passage Act." I have no idea on what the law with regard to drones is, but I suspect it is not protected. The airspace above your property is in fact yours until you hit controlled airspace. In some areas near busy airports it can begin at the surface, most rural areas begin at either 700' above ground level (AGL) which is Clasd E, or 1,200' AGL, Class G. The FAA and FCC can limit the height of radio towers on your property, require you to light it a certain way, etc. Depending on what airspace you are in you can be limited in your ability to launch a model rocket. The United States directly, controls all the the airspace between 18,000 MSL and 60,000 MSL, this is what would orevent you from launching a satellite into space from yiur property. Above 60,000 gets into space law which involves space law, multiple agencies, etc. and I am not very familar with all that entails as my plane has a ceiling of about half that so I have never needed to worry abiut that. Texas does in fact have a laser light law in the Penal Code. I suspect this came about because if some kids goofing off with them near DFW. Of course local zoning laws would have height restrictions on actual structures. So yes you do own the space above your property, but like everything else, subject to local, state, and federal control. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 There also local laws regarding discharging firearms within city limits. I would suggest practicing your slingshot or surgical tubing water balloon launcher unless someone can point out why that's a bad idea. I suppose a pellet gun might be ok?
