It would come down to the ammo and concerns of "over penetration" issues in the house. I have a few "short" 223/556 firearms that I'm hesitant about using as Home Defense" weapons for just that reason.

Otherwise, a shotgun or pistol with ammo designed for "hallway" distances.

**S&W M&P 5.56** Capacity? Yup. Accuracy in a hurry? Yup. Stopping power with HP's? Yup. Dependability? Yup.

It's got my vote! Will never sell mine, nor the inventory of spare parts for it. It, and one of my glocks, will be the last two I'll ever, make that never, part with. Ok, maybe I'll keep the Remington 870 and the Nat'l Match. Of course, the revolvers are tuff as hell... Cheesy

If the NRA doesn't compromise then Obama and Michael Moore don't lie.
