It is best to keep a low profile, and not advertise having guns in any way. Don't even mention "Gun" as a deterent unless you are ready to use it.
And don't put signs on your house like "Never Mind the dog, Beware of the owner". That is just plain idiotic and un neccessary. It sounds cool around freinds, but if you use your weopon lawfully to protect property and loved ones, you can bet that the perpetrators lawyer will have giant pictures of your signs as evidence in civil court, reinforcing the notion that you were just itching to shoot somebody. If you make it out of criminal court that is.
Just take solace in the fact that if somebody threatens your family, you can take care of buissiness.
