Please educate yourself. This has already been put to the test. Hint: the 5.56/.223 Rem is a FINE caliber for home defense.

You are INCORRECT about 5.56/.223 overpenetration.

They just went there looking for a handout to start their rap group “The Morons”.

There were 4 home invaders here. I’d prefer to have more than 5 rounds available. If multiple people are shooting at me my aim might be off. If you’re worried about penetration a pistol caliber carbine is a good bet.

Unfortunately two survived. But, in cases such as these, half a loaf is much better than none.

I’ve done several transactions via Craigslist. With one exception they were done in public places with plenty of people around.

Nevertheless any transactions through a place like Craigslist must be handled with caution and common sense.

Our county Sheriff has an area at the main office that is specifically setup up near the front door (with video cameras) to complete just such transactions.

I have a Mossberg 20ga SA with #4 buckshot.

It’s one of Massad Ayoob’s first choices for home defense.

Now, you can call me a pussy. You can call Equine1952 a pussy.

But if you are offering pay-per-view when you go and call Massad Ayoob a pussy, sign me up.

3 Blacks and a Mexican. The only unusual features are the first names.

My problem with the AR for home defense is pass through capability with the ammo. A shotgun and buckshot to me is safer for the innocent neighbors.

Studies have shown the exact opposite to be true. "Over-penetration" is a greater risk with .00 buckshot, 9mm or .45ACP than with a 5.56.

Article with multiple test results here

There is a reason dynamic-entry professionals prefer the AR-15 when there is a risk of one of their own being behind a wall or doorway.

Bottom line is the AR-15 is the ideal weapon for home defense. Light, small, easy to wield by men and women alike. Easy to aim. Very lethal. Lower over-penetration risk than conventional home defense firearms.
