So how would you stop an intruding drone? A rifle with a sound suppressor is a federal felony -- but it seems the logical choice -- RF jamming or laser weapons would endanger aircraft.
  1. A new hi-power pellet gun or rifle with a laser sight?
  2. A mini non-explosive rocket launcher designed to down a drone.
  3. An anti drone weapons array on your rooftop?

These drones are going to become commonplace in 5 or 10 years. Looks like an easy venture capital project the demand will be guaranteed by the targets of surveillance both government and private.
In here, in the country of freedom you can use sound suppressors in rifles, but I would still choose a drone with good air-to-air capabilities. Maybe with the possibility to make pre-emptive strike, so air-to-ground capability wouldn't hurt either.
