There is a federal law regarding shooting down aircraft and since they deemed RC aircraft real aircraft you would be breaking federal law. Period.No it wouldn’t. I live in Alaska and I dare you to fly into my property I’ll shoot it down and keep it.. nothing whatsoever will happen to me

"Drones Are Aircraft
A drone is an aircraft under the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs). Shooting down an aircraft is a federal crime. The penalties include twenty years in prison under 18 U.S.C. § 32(a). A threat to shoot down an aircraft can get you five years in prison under 18 U.S.C. § 32(c). The government can also impose fines of up to $250,000. This puts a damper on vigilante efforts."
