Bull****. Say you've got a house with no alarm and
no dog. Want to find out if there's a homeowner
there with a gun? Use foolproof method: RING
THE DOORBELL. If nobody answers, then you
don't have to worry about the "guaranteed burglary
deterrent" being a problem...

What you will have at that point is a house with no gun and a burglar who
has your gun.

Oh, and don't forget that you vastly increase the
chances that you or a family member will get
shot if you decide to keep a loaded weapon in
your house.

What the heck!!! Why, you bleeding heart liberal! How dare you express
concern that some innocent child might get shot. The very nerve. Harrumph.
:^)

Guard dogs can be killed, alarms don't bother the
smash-and-grab crooks, burglar bars only slow the
squints.

All of these methods are perfectly reasonable ways of
making your house a less desirable target than the one
next to it, which is all you really need to do to prevent
break-ins...

Correct. This is like the story of the two hunters. After hiking a few
miles into the woods they spotted a grisly bear bounding toward them from a
long way off. The first hunter sat down and started changing his boots for
tennis shoes. The second said, "You can't outrun a bear in tennis shoes."

The second calmly laced up his sneakers and said, "I only need to outrun
you." :^)
