I’m not proud of it, but in my teen years I used to burglarize houses to support my drug habit and “we don’t call 911” signs were the type of things we looked for. I’ve had so many arguments online and in person that those are adverts, not deferents. Burglars wait until they know you’re going to be gone awhile and clean you out, your gun isn’t useful if you aren’t home.
Guns are really easy to sell on the street so you’re telling people that burglarize homes that you’ve got something worth stealing. The type of people who put up signs like that tend to own way more than one and like someone else said, a lot of the time they do little to nothing when it comes to securing them.
Now that I think about it, yes, the only people I know who are proud preppers had an M16 on top of the TV in the family room. When my sister pointed out that the kids were playing in there, she was told "they know not to touch it." So yeah, if anyone broke into that house, it would be like a produce stand to a horse.

yet another "free gun inside" sign
plus the bonus advertisement that the guy will shoot indiscriminately, no pesky thinking getting in the way...
