Not having a gun handy when you need one sucks. It would also suck to get home, find your front door open, someone might be in the house, and you know that you've got a half dozen guns just laying around the house. Is the perp in the house, did they find the guns, are they going to use your own gun on you? That sucks too.
I have a permit, so I carry my gun. If I leave the house, it goes with me so when I come home, I've got it. I have, well had, need a new one a safe that any other useable gun stayed in if I wasn't home and the gun was. I really, REALLY don't want any gun that I own getting into the hands of someone that shouldn't have it, like a criminal.
So, there is a reason to keep them locked up. If nothing else, then lock them up when you leave the house, and get the gun back out when you get home if you can't take them with you.
Something else to think about is a wall safe. That way if you have a break in, they may not find the wall safe, and hopefully, they can't get into it or take it with them. That's better than having a gun safe that they can take and pry open later.
