Drones, I hate them....

As a former prosecutor, IMO, you are more likely to be struck by lightning while cashing a winning lottery ticket than to face Federal charges for taking down an offending and trespassing drone over your own property.  On the other hand, laser pointers capable of interfering with aircraft, that could earn you the right to be a guest of the Feds.

Drones are regulated by the FAA and whether they are being used for recreational or commercial purposes, they should be registered with the FAA... That makes them an "aircraft" and shooting one down or assaulting the drone operator is against the law and a federal crime. And as long as they are following the airspace rules, safety guidelines and within line of site, it would appear that flying over your house or property is perfectly legal.
