Not very loud at all. It sounded like a dentist's drill

Been hearing the noise on and off for almost 2 weeks. Always around 10PM and couldn't figure out where it was coming from until last night. I was taking a piss and looked out the window and a drone was hovering right outside the window. It was blacked out and I only saw it because the bathroom light reflected off the camera lens. I ran outside in the direction that it flew off but couldn't find anyone. After doing a little research it looks like the operator could have miles away or right next door. Who ever was operating it definitely knows that I saw it because for some dumb reason my first reaction was to give it the finger and yell "mother fucker someone is going to die" although I'm not sure if they record audio.

Heavy & Zeke are correct. I thought of the fishing line but there is really place to hang it from. I have a 30' aluminum pole that I use to vacuum the pool. I figure that if I buy some beer and sit out by the shed in the dark and he comes back I will have a pretty good chance swatting it down.

"Flying between houses won't make you any friends. Hovering outside a window may result in your drone being destroyed by any means available to the resident--it certainly would here." This brings me to my next question? How hard is it bring down a drone? How hard would you have to hit it with a rock or maybe long pole? Unfortunately a shotgun is not an option where I live.

Tell me what you know about drones, not the military kind, the kind you or I can own. How far can they fly from the operator and how are they guided? How skilled would one have to be to hover outside a window and fly between houses? Is this something that a kid could do or would it be a learned skill? If a learned skill, where would one learn this? Hypothetically if a drone were to crash or by other means end up in someone's possession could it be traced back to it's owner so that their property could be returned to them and ensure that they receive any and all compensation that they are entitled to?

Okay thanks for the input, looks like I'll be looking for a .223

So if I wanted to shoot milk jugs at 200 yds this would be a decent and relatively cheap round to use?

What is the average effective range of a rifle chambered for the 22 mag round when used strictly for target shooting?

What venues are they playing?

Although I knew something like that was coming, still pretty good. Well played Sir.

How much and do you ship?

Not to hi-jack the thread but, has anyone ever built a bat house? What type of material did you use? I hear that it is a great form of mosquito control for the summer months and let's face it bats are pretty cool.

My daughter was watching one of those crime tv shows tonight, I'm not sure of the name of the show but it is based on the murder investigations solved by guy named Lt. Joe Kenda. In the show he stated that they found "several" .380 caliber shell casings at the crime scene that were fired from a Browning 9mm pistol that they recovered. He stated that a .380 can be used in 9mm pistols. I'm pretty sure that if you put a .380 in the chamber of a 9mm it would fire but I don't think it would cycle. Maybe I'm wrong but even if it would work I seriously doubt that it would work well enough to leave "several" shell casings at the crime scene. Am I wrong? Will a .380 round work in a 9mm?

I suggested the Glock 26 for the very same reasons.

One of the rookies at work asked me if I think he should get a Glock 43 or a M&P Shield for an off duty weapon. I told him that I had no experience with either gun and suggested that he might want to go on youtube but now he has me wondering. If you had a choice between the two, which gun would you choose and why? I believe that they are pretty close in price so that shouldn't effect the decision.

Dose anyone have any experience with a Girsan shotgun? They are a Turkish made inertia action shotgun sold exclusively by Buds Gun Shop. I found a few Youtube videos but there isn't much else I can find.

Other than Benelli, Stoeger, and Franchi (which I know are all pretty much the same company) are there any other shotgun manufactures that make inertia driven shotguns?

Unless you are a drug or diamond dealer your chances of a random home invasion are probably significantly less than a child in your home gaining access to an unsecured firearm. While keeping the gun unloaded and the loaded mag separate is good, just imagine explaining to the police how the kid got the gun that they are showing to their friends at school or the park. BUY A SAFE!

I second the Hi-Power. I'll get one some day.

I may be going to Baltimore next week. Dose anyone know how MD laws effect HR218?

Don't get a dog. It's like having another kid that you can't take on vacation.

You gotta love Uncle Ted!

When is the next one?

I met Jack today and I can say with confidence that if you are looking for a fair and honest guy in the Ocean Co. area he may be hard to beat. I will definitely be doing business with him in the future.
