You do realize one of the big issue in this scenario you're describing where even criminals can know if the residents of a house have a gun, right? Criminals would infer those off the list are less likely to have one and target those people without a gun with greater surety.
Yes, that would happen.
I'm not sure if that really will play out where everyone gets a gun.
Right now not everyone has a security system (or at least just the sign). And not everyone has a dog inside. And not everyone has a car alarm.
