Sport utility rifles, such as the semi-auto civilian versions of the AR-47 and the AR-15 are very effective home defense tools.

Use of a sport utility rifle in a home defense plan calls for thought and consideration of the rifle and ammunition. If the home to be defended is in a country/rural setting, the possibility of over penetration is less of a problem. In the Tennessee case, the brick exterior of the house served to limit penetration problems. Sport utility rifles commonly use popular calibers. Cartridges in those calibers are available with bullets designed to limit penetration. The paragraph should be ever present in the of a person choosing their home defense weapon and planing their home defense strategy.
The adreline being pumped in to your blood stream during a fire fight is going to make careful bullet placement very difficult. Most of the rounds fired at the bad guy are likely to miss. So where those rounds go is of utmost importance.
If your 7.62 mm round passes through your exterior wall, through your neighbors wall and kills his wife you are in for a heap of troubles.

Stupid name “sports utility rifles” obviously coined by some SHOT show drunks.
