You may be somewhat misguided Mr Sunfish, but do tell me please, is flying a drone illegally an indictable offence and does your usage of the shotgun fit with your understanding of section 462A of the Victorian Crimes act 1958?


CRIMES ACT 1958 - SECT 462A

Use of force to prevent the commission of an indictable offence

A person may use such force not disproportionate to the objective as he believes on reasonable grounds to be necessary to prevent the commission, continuance or completion of an indictable offence or to effect or assist in effecting the lawful arrest of a person committing or suspected of committing any offence.
”Reasonable force” in the case of a drone, would be to speak to the operator and advise them to fly elsewhere. Shooting down their $2.5k JB Hifi drone is not “reasonable.”
