It is a federal offense to shoot down a drone, over your property or otherwise. It's called interference with the operation of an aircraft.
I'm guessing that would be true if they were registered and assigned an Aircraft Number that would be visible from the ground... I'm thinking only those drones that are within air space of an air port only fall into this registry category perhaps...
Being a small drone being flown over my house with no markings on it might be a different story...
I need to read up on these things as they are becoming a popular item...
Yes I am aware of Satellite Camera's zooming in on your license plate number from 200 plus miles up...

18-USC-32
Amendments to 18 U.S.C. § 32 enacted in 1984 expand United States jurisdiction over aircraft sabotage to include destruction of any aircraft in the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States or any civil aircraft used, operated or employed in interstate, overseas, or foreign air commerce.
Now that the FAA is regulating commercial and civilian Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), drones flown within the bounds of those regulations enjoy the same protection as manned aircraft.
