Ohio HCR15 urges Congress to pass the Defense Against Drones Act of 2025, allowing property owners to shoot down drones over their property.

The Ohio General Assembly urges Congress to pass the Defense Against Drones Act of 2025, which would allow property owners to shoot down drones flying up to 200 feet over their property. The resolution cites concerns over increased drone use, privacy violations, and national security risks, particularly from foreign manufacturers. It argues that current federal law deters homeowners from protecting their property and privacy, and that the proposed act would align with Ohio's Castle Doctrine, allowing reasonable force to defend one's home.
