Defense Against Drones Act of 2025

HR 1907, the Defense Against Drones Act of 2025, allows private property owners to shoot down drones flying below 200 feet above their land using a legally owned shotgun, if they reasonably believe the drone is trespassing. It requires owners who shoot down drones to report the incident, including the drone's registration number and location, to the FAA within 60 days. The bill explicitly states it does not override state laws regarding liability for actions taken under this provision, preserving existing tort and criminal law frameworks. This policy directly affects individuals who own property and face unauthorized drone activity near their land.
