No, it's illegal.

This thing can even fly, when bad weather prevents other means of delivery.

It isn't creepy. I have no problem if the drone delivery vehicles travel over the public right of way streets and roads like a wheeled ground delivery truck does today. If the drone enters your private property in a safe manner like a delivery truck would come onto your property for the purpose of delivering goods to you -- there is no problem at all.

The only problem I have is when a drone enters your property without permission, you do have airspace property rights to an altitude of at least 500ft that has been established (US Laws). You have given delivery drones permission the same was you give delivery trucks permission -- to make a delivery of the goods that you want (ordered delivered).

@_Richard_: Depends. Can you disable a police car that is in your driveway? Can you destroy an inanimate flying object in the private airspace above your property that is trespassing?

It's against the law to discharge a firearm inside city limits here. There isn't a 'drone hunting season' and you can use a long bow to shoot arrows legally here. A drone is not a FAA (US Laws) regulated aircraft. If your jamming device will not interfere with regulated aircraft 500ft+ altitude -- it is not against the law? You can't claim damage to your property if it happens when you are in trespass only to your person under limited circumstances.

You may be defending your property rights under the trespass of privacy or trespass of chattel. Has not been through the courts yet AFIK.

a drone is a FAA regulated craft, that is a decision put forth in november of 2014.. i know because i was following that drone mounted pistol with some interest

the question for the actual jammer would be local air traffic.. police / news helicopters etc

No, private drones are relegated [consign or dismiss to an inferior rank or position.] Private drones are relegated to under the FAA airspace that is regulated and the FAA sets no standard for their airworthiness.

Private drones are unregulated as 'hobbyist model' aircraft.

Commercial drones for delivery, private security, mini crop dusting? are pending FAA regulation.

A private airborne weapon would be regulated under federal weapons laws. Is a RF jamming device regulated -- probably so. Is a suicide mission drone used to 'kill' a private drone that is trespassing regulated? Not in itself but if a person is harmed it may be ...
