I'm gonna need some counsel here. If somebody flies over my ranch, it's your ranch. It's my ranch. Can I take them out? Because I think Texas law might be different.

I don't know. What have you found out so far? Because obviously this is a moving target, so to speak. Definitely, definitely. And and Texas has um probably the the most different laws is is the rest of the United States.

Um, for the most part you're not supposed to mess with the internal functions or or the flying of unmanned air vehicles because you classify UAS or drones the same way you classify aircraft. So think of it as shooting down a Cessna. That's how the law currently sees it. I can't do that.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.49.
