I have a few guns and am at a crossroads now. All of them are hidden in various places. Nobody knows I own guns except my wife and a few friends I trust. My next step is to buy a safe, but based on the way my (small) house is configured, there is no place to hide a safe. It'll be out in the open for all to see, including service people that need to come inside. In fact, the "best" place to put it would be right beside my furnace, water heater, etc in the basement! I really don't want it the middle of my living room.
Now, my house has never been broken into, and if you saw it most people wouldn't bother. But if people knew I had guns, I suppose I could be a potential target.
So what would you do? Continue to be inconspicuous, but have no real protection for the guns? Or get a safe, but advertise gun ownership?
