You'll get a million opinions now. Brace yourself.

The best home defense firearm is a 12 gauge pump shotgun. Remington 870 is commonly available and at a reasonable price. No reason to get one with a long barrel either. A 20-inch barrel is plenty.

You just saved me some typing. I would add that you need to take any plug out and I prefer 00 Buckshot in the chamber followed by another, then a deer slug, two more 00 BS and the sixth another slug.
