I would forget about a rifle and go with any good 12 ga. pump (loaded w/00 buck) and a sidearm.

I agree. A .223 slug will go right through a wall inside your home and possibly hit somebody that you don't want to hit.

I think the ideal combo for defense is:

1. A 12 gauge shotgun (pump action) for indoor defense

2. A .223 semi-auto rifle with 2 or 3 clips for defense at 100 yards+

3. A 30-06 or other 30 caliber bolt action rifle for accurate long-range (300 yards+) shooting.

4. A 9mm or 45 cal. handgun for short-range defense

Buying all 4 is expensive but can be done over the course of a few years.

There will be no lupus in fabula with that rig!

What about an autoshottie? 0_o That would kickass. I wonder if you can get them in civilian models?

Sure.
Who cares about targets 100 yards out anyway.
