... and 1 in garage
I might reconsider that one due to the popularity of the garage as an entry point for undesirables. My neighbor recently had two diddindonuffins enter his home through his garage and armed themselves on the way in. Luckily for him, they thought no one was home and began stashing their loot in the bushes outside. By the time he came up on them in the spare bedroom they had already put several of his guns in the bushes by the street. I would, at the very least, make sure that they are very cleverly hidden, but still accessible.

I've always been leery of leaving guns anywhere I'm not (well hidden or not) for that specific reason; I'd hate to arm a BG if I'm in another room or away from the house. My normal routine consists of belting on my 1911 first thing in the AM and normally it doesn't come off until I go to bed. I do keep an AR hidden downstairs when I'm at home, but when I leave the house, all guns are in the safe.

defiantly gives me something to reconsider
It goes without saying that everyone's situation and local "threat levels" are different; your hiding spots may do the trick - my problem is that I overthink stuff too much and always err on the side of the worst case scenario my paranoid mind can make up :tinfoil3:

One day, when I have some extra time and money, you can bet I'll have something like:
