I can certainly understand keeping valuable items protected, and your willingness to be visible is going to depend on where you live and your ability to take risks.
But keep in mind, that your safety from social stigma and being targeted by burglars is affecting the way people around you perceive the number of gun owners.
The better hidden we are, the fewer of us that the average person knows about, the easier it is for them to dismiss our concerns - because they don't know anybody who is a gun owner. That doesn't mean you need to plaster your car with stickers and put a neon sign on your roof.
John Hancock may not really have said he signed the Declaration of Independence 'Large enough for King George to read it without his spectacles' but he was willing to make his attitude known.
