I would prefer a short-barreled shotgun for home defense. I don't have access to FBI statistics on home invasions, but I would think that it would usually be ONLY 1 or 2 home burglars. Maybe if they were burglarizing Mark Zuckerberg's house or some other 1 % er, then they might take a GANG of 5 co-crooks with them. Most crooks probably don't have 5 friends that they trust. Maybe some gang bangers could team up to do one house, but color me skeptical.
