    I think a baseball bat might do the trick. Why get fancy?

      Because it has to be on the ground for that and you may as well just goink it off the porch at that point.

      A jammer can bring the drone down anywhere along its path.

        Kids are going to be taking pot shots at these things. They won’t be using radios for it. That’s all I’m saying.

        I don’t see these lasting very long either way.

          I can absolutely see slingshots used, I just don’t think net guns will be the tactic of choice for would-be porch pirates.

            I agree. Who has net guns lying around?
            Sling shots makes realize BB guns would be fun.
