There are FAR more people like me, with none of that shit, than the caricature you described. I worked a gun shop counter for a few years and boy would you be surprised who has guns.
You may be right - but enough people do make it obvious that criminals wouldn't ever have a problem locating those households. Even without that obvious stuff, I've found that a lot of gun owners can't resist 'gun talk' which is also a pretty obvious giveaway.
What do you mean ‘gun talk’? Like they come up to strangers and start talking about guns?
yes
Not necessarily strangers, but just in casual conversations with people in public places. Which guns they think are badass, the high price of ammunition, the annoyances of new regulations, etc.
