It's use is obviously as a security enhancement. They are legal now. Unless you can cite a law that makes them illegal that I am not aware of.

Are you in fear for your life when the security guard you hired shoots someone breaking into your property?

Not really.

I don't see that as an issue at all, since it is allowable to use reasonable force to protect your property.

If you warn the intruder to stop with your remote loudspeaker and he refuses it, well then it just became reasonable to use deadly force to stop them.

If you demand that they leave your property and they fail to do so it is reasonable to assume they are there to do you harm and you should act accordingly.

A squadron of armed micro drones is just another layer of protection between you and those who would do you harm.

It's really no different than an electrified fence or something of that sort, except with conscious guidance. There is a notification and if the warning is not heeded then whatever consequences ensue are the responsibility of the interloper.

Of course these types of security measures are probably not appropriate for a typical residential setting. If some kid got electrocuted I'm pretty sure you would get sued and lose, for example.

There is no need to get "society's approval" for armed drones because armed drones aren't illegal. That's the point that escapes you.

Now, shooting an innocent kid is obviously illegal, but that would be the case whether you used an armed drone or just walked out there and did it with a regular gun. It's silly to even interject that into the conversation.

Murder is an action that is illegal. But that is the case regardless of the nature of the murder weapon.
