I would say that most dolts that live in subdivisions (ie- crazy old lady, etc) are so consumed in their tv programs, running a vacuum, air conditioner running wide open, or just too zonked out on prozac, [bleep] or whatever to catch onto a single gunshot. They either wont know what it was or where it came from or completely miss it.
My mother in law- aka edith bunker...lives about 1/8 mile away from us up the road. I shoot my 6.5x284 off my master bedroom deck on occasion, discharge my savage 10ml. I always ask if i bothered her or woke her up...her and the old man both say they never hear me shooting. Good grief!!! Old people are something else.
Well insulated house, heat pump running, tv blasting for old fugg's hearing deficits.
i say go for it
