Yes, the sound of a shotgun racking a shell is thought provoking to say the least.
I have been in The Villages 5 years and there has NOT been a home invasion that I can think of. There have been some homes burgeled when no one was home, a few sneak thieves under doubtful circumstances, and a couple of domestic shootings.
In other words, nothing that required a pump shotgun, rifle, or pistol to be used in self defense.
Remember, also, those folks who have the rifle, shotgun, or pistol ready for use would most likely have them stolen in a burglary occuring when they are out of the house.
