Drones have been an asset to the aviation industry for some, and a bane of existence for others.
Count on the latter for a Washington state woman.
A drone appeared to be hanging out a little too long over the balcony of her home in Bellevue, WA, and, to be fair, it was getting awfully close and awfully intrusive.
That's when she took things into her own hands.
Literally.
She took a couple of shots at the drone with two rocks that she plucked out of one of her planters on the balcony. When they didn't work, she went back into the house. The drone drew closer again but quickly backed off when the operator realized that the woman was emerging from the house with what appears to be a shotgun.
Whether it is or not is unclear, but the drone backs off.
