Handgun isn't the right approach for home protection. I'm not recommending for or against, but if you're protecting your home you're much better off with a pistol grip shotgun.

Seconded. No one wants to fight when face to face with a shotgun.

The big advantage is that they require next to no skill to use really effectively. As long as the barrel is pointed sort of in the right direction whoever is standing sort of in that direction is fucked.

If you absolutely have to fire yes, but the true advantage is not having to fire it in the first place.

Well then, I'll keep my ideas to myself! Good luck, man. Never had to deal with that, and I'm sure it sucks.
