To each their own. I personally see nothing wrong with it. I have C&R military bolt rifles hanging on my wall (HIGH!).
I used to be paranoid about thieves. I've been in law enforcement for years now and I've come to realize that 95% of burglaries happen by someone who knows you, and 75% or more happen to drug dealers or other criminals and someone is looking for their stash. So if you have a family member that is known for nefarious activities, or if you operate a criminal organization, you might be in trouble. Otherwise, go with it.
Be smart about it though. Record your serial numbers (as you should with all guns anyway), hide the display guns if any stranger has to do service work in your house, and keep only good people as friends and company. In addition, I would think about removing the firing pin or another critical part to ensure that display only guns can't be fired readily. If you are a victim of burglary, at least there's a layer of safety that may prevent the gun from harming someone else. Most gang-bangers aren't going to know how to replace the firing pin in a Henry Big Boy, nor would they likely function check it (or know how).
