General views on secure storage at home

Hi, I am a new poster here. I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask these questions so mods please just move it to the necessary spot.
I have a question about views on the appropriate storage of house guns around the interior and exterior of the home. We all have our bedroom gun of course and I won't lie and claim that I've cradled it before. But then I have the other house guns to worry about. So, after my bedroom gun I have by bathroom gun, a small .22 revolver taped on the back of my toilet bowl. Well the of course there is my dressing room gun, just a simple bolt action rifle I keep around in case and occasionally fire out my dressing room window at possums or other varmints.
Moving downstairs to get coffee and breakfast I have the kitchen gun and the dinette room gun, respectively a .99mm Lugar and a vintage .22 long barrel revolver with a stock extension by Colt - my favorite. At this point moving outside I have my 'porch gun', a breach loaded 20 gauge double barrel revolver. Of course then there is the garage gun which is a hastily made series of AR-15s tied to the brake line of a Ford Interceptor which I think functions.
In any event my question is in a home invasion where do I appropriately store all the ammo for this? Do i store it with the gun in question or is it more like in Resident Evil where you get the ammo and the gun at different times during the game? Should I ask the neighbor's teenager to come over and hide ammunition throughout the home and then have him pretend to be a home invader so I can safely find all the ammunition and weapons and health points to repel an attack?

First off, the location of any firearm that may be outside of a locked safe, if there are any, is no one's business that doesn't live here.
Secondly, How may home invaders are you preparing for?
Personally, I feel that any HD weapon I have SHOULD have enough ammo in/on it to keep the home invader(s) at bay until either a) I can access a more appropriate weapon, b) the police arrive or c) I've resolved the situation to my satisfaction
The problem is I can't hide the ammunition myself because I'd know where it is and there would be no sport. So I thought the neighbor's kid could come over and hide the weapons and ammunition throughout the property so when there is a break in all bets are off and I go full Jamaican.
Also I have dogs. Does that matter in this scenario? Should I train my dogs to bring me the dog guns?

Just how small is this castle ?
Regardless
When defending a castle you get the higher end home invaders.
They'll have body armor and such so thus far all your guns are pretty useless.
Think John Wick here.
Flame fougasse moat.
Punji pits and bear traps inside of that.
Swinging and falling man traps in the house.
3 angry chihuahuas.
Great distraction
Have they found a replacement for Brother Maynard though??
I need to get a ".99 Lugar" and a "breach loaded 20 gauge double barrel revolver".
He needs to watch the "Godfather" again to see how they guard their mansions, but he has the toilet thing down. If he has an out house, he could play the Billy the Kid scenario.
I am down to one handgun and a tactical cat, you are over thinking things, KISS.
In this instance, I am especially missing the one with dark circles under disbelieving eyes and the ribbon of drool trailing from the corner of the mouth.

He hasn't been back in over a month.
I'm beginning to think we didn't take him serious enough.
