Has a very easy answer in the US: No. You do not own your airspace. The FAA owns your airspace. You can build a tall structure (subject to local laws). But anything above that is outside your control. --- This article, however, is about Ireland.

In Ireland?

So who pays your medical bills when one of those falls on your head. FAA or the delivery company?

The domain is .IE, the FAA has little relevance.

In my neighborhood (rural) a drone hovering over someone's property would be likely used as target practice.

If delivery drones become commonplace, there are going to have to be regulations about which air corridors they can use (altitude and routes) or it will be chaos.

This is basically why regulations exist requiring operators of machinery/vehicles to carry insurance, so there's someone who can pay up if people get hurt.

For what it's worth, shooting at aircraft (including drones) is a federal offense, and the FAA takes that one pretty seriously. Drones also have cameras.
