In Sicily, women are more dangerous than shotguns.

What it means

The speaker claims that in Sicily, women pose a greater danger than firearms. It is a wary, sweeping generalisation, treating women's influence as harder to survive than a shotgun. It reflects the speaker's view of the place, not an established fact.
