Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Something that has a hard time penetrating drywall sure as heck isn't turning a person into "mush." Also, no aiming involved? Have you ever even shot your shotgun?
"There are no finger prints under water."
I'm a trained ninja warrior amd I don't really need a firearm. I can catch bullets with my teeth and I have the ability to dodge head shots.
In case the ninja plan fails....I have a 9mm on my hip until I go to bed and then it goes on my nightstand. I also have 2 other handguns where I can get to them without opening the safe. I have 1 in the basement and 1 upstairs.
If the shit really hit the fan, I'l be grabbing my mini and shotguns out of the safe. I should add, all guns are loaded and ready to rock and roll. My wife and my daughter also know where the guns are and how to use them. However, they are both ninja warriors also.
Keltec P11 on my person most of the time, 1911 with 230 gr SXTs in the nightstand with the Maglight, 870 with 8 rounds of 7 1/2s in the bedroom closet.
My primary home defense TOE:
Daewoo DR200 (folder) 2x30+1, and Beretta 92 with 2x15+1
High Standard K120 12ga pump 5+1
Ruger P85 MkIIR 2x15+1
post-sample M16 with 2 bandos (2x4x30) is my "bugout" rifle.

Spleify 7-27-12Marlin is the end all be all of everything COAR-15...
IMO the 00 buck will get the job done, if you have a nice autoloader or just nasty on the pump a bg wont have his chance in a civil suit. That being said, I lost everything I had to a goddamn local saints fan last weekend so I got nuffin. I don't suspect a very positive outcome for the bg once my tea cup poodle rips the shit out of his ankles to buy me enough time to scratch his eyes out and call the police...

Really guys, the best thing you can do is know your home and spend the time to do the real research on what is best. The rules still apply when you're shooting in doors, know your target and what's behind it.
I can stay that after years of believing that a pistol or shotgun was my best choice, I learned that the rifle that I have the most trigger time on and the best muscle memory for, happens to be in a caliber that is the best solution for my need.
Kelly nailed it, and I really began to wonder if the misconceptions I previously had are the same ones that many of you hold. 5.56/.223 is more probable to be the better solution over your shotgun or .45/9mm in doors. But do your own reading and research.
As usual, a gun in hand is better than not in this "situation"
Oringial question: "What is your go to gun?"
Answer: Whichever one I get to first!
hehe
