Respectfully, I disagree.
I own weapons that are used primarily to hunt, and they are kept locked in a gunsafe.
But I also have weapons in selected spots throughout my house which may in fact be discovered by an intruder, if he had enough time to himself in the place.
But I always try to be aware of potential problems around me, whether on the street, in a store, in traffic. I am not looking FOR problems, I am looking to avoid them if possible.
I almost always have a weapon on my person, and always have one close by. If I have been gone for most of the day I definitely give the exterior of my house a once-over before I enter, and my carry weapon is with me and accessible just in the off-chance that a threat awaits me inside.
Does that sound like a movie script? Hell, I read about those real-life scenes every day in the paper.

Yeah, it kinda does if you're a secret agent or a professional assassin.
I can honestly say I have never seen anything in the paper that required that level of caution to avoid trouble.
Further, the idea some criminal mastermind is going to silently break into ones home, stumble upon your weapon (not having one of his own), and finally use it against you as you stumble into his nefarious activities is laughable.
Is it possible: sure. But if it actually happened I'd have to conclude God is after me.
