California legislators have introduced a bill to give firefighters and other emergency responders legal protection if they have to knock down a drone. But it would still remain against federal law, so it's likely to remain a legal gray area.
There are also bills pending (and very likely to pass) that will make remote trespassing a crime.

Count me among those that would swat/shoot it down if one were stalking me or invading my privacy on my own property.
