ELI5: What's to prevent me from shooting down a blimp with a sniper rifle from far away?

EDIT:

I have no intention of shooting down a blimp. Reason I asked is that I saw the news of the multi-million dollar military blimp going loose and thought: "Gee, all it takes is one terrorist to shoot a bullet into the blimp to bring it down"

I suppose the same thing that prevents you from shooting pedestrians with a sniper rifle. Either a sufficiently developed human conscience,  a healthy fear of legal repercussions, or at minimum a better hobby.
