I sprinkle spent cases on the doormat and have a decoy shotgun in the umbrella holder that can be seen through the front door sidelights. No words necessary.
Are you vocal about owning firearms?

Attach laser pointers to wind spinners on your roof. At night time it'll look like you're being guarded by seal team six.
Get one of those solar panel doohickees from CharliePapa.
Honestly if the criminals were that smart they would visit a site like this and have all the info they needed on gun owners and some of what is in their possesion. The saving grace is that 99% are just plain stupid, its in the news everyday. Personally I only discuss it with like minded folks that are of a certian maturity level. Its not the person you tell its that 3rd or 4th one down the line that just may be the drug addict or thug stupid enough to risk breaking into a house with armed occupants.
You say criminals are dumb, but you'd be surprised how dumb the average person is. ie: Facebook selfie of family leaving for a week on vacation; women that leave designer purses with piles of cash visible in the passenger seat of their mercedes while they go to yoga; Guys that brag during a ftf trade, to someone that they've never met before, about all the high dollar guns he's got at the house. - the list goes on.
and uh, burglary is more often a crime of opportunity than an Ocean's 11 hit on your gun safe. In the time it takes to setup an account and begin searching, badguyjoe could have ransacked two random houses and likely found a gun or two. Your custom 1911 and a $100.00 hi point are equally valuable to some people.

Don't worry, The criminals are on here, They work for some alphabet agency out of DC
Yeah I'm mostly the same way. I don't advertise it, but I honestly don't care if people know I'm a gun owner or not. Only those who are truly close to me know I have a CHP and carry every day, but I can't say I haven't posted a couple pictures of guns on social media. I seriously doubt anybody is specifically checking my facebook feed to find out whether or not I have guns, but at the same time, I realize that some people whom I otherwise like, are squirrelly on the topic of firearms, so why ruin an otherwise good relationship just b/c I insist on being ultra-pro-2A?

I don't have a problem telling anyone I have a gun. I was proud after I bought it and those that know me know I've been interested in shooting for a long time. However, I don't feel the need or advertise via house or auto window sticker that I have one or carry. That gives the intruder/attacker the upper hand with that knowledge and loses the "surprise" element should I need to defend myself. I don't mind an auto window sticker that says I'm pro-gun/2A.
I don't advertise it at home. The immediate neighbors know but they're not a threat.
T-shirts I have a problem with. I wear gun t-shirts to the range, to friends houses occasionally, gun shows, etc. IE places where I don't care if they know. The problem is going out in the general public. You might as well OC if you're going to wear a glock shirt since your CCW might as well not be concealed. Don't even get me started on guys wearing gun shirts and NOT carrying!
I really like(d) my vata shirt (wife spilled bleach on it...) and the midway usa shirt I picked up somewhere. Anyone who wasn't firearms knowledgeable didn't recognize it. The ones that did I didn't mind knowing (playing the odds on gun knowledgeable crooks but seemed a safe bet).

I don't see the need in letting folks know what you have especially in the way of firearm ownership.. I figure we're not too far away from an forcible attempt at confiscation or gungrab so the fewer people that know the better.
