Massad Ayoob, in one of his many books, said the following: (Paraphrasing) Many young LEO's don't feel the need to carry their firearm when inside their own home.

To the OP: It sounds like your living companions have values that conflict with your own. This is nothing new. You need to decide whether your own safety goals are more or less important than the people in your domicile.
