Heartbreaker you have detailed all the reasons I've found to support my decision. I wish I had a copy of a picture in which Clint Smith is standing right next to a guy holding a handgun at arms length. It was to show that they where practically the same length. I've never shot a gun indoors but I have (a G30) inside a car and even with earplugs AND earmuffs the sound would make my ears ring.
I think I'm going to call this thread "The Ludicrous Thread".
mmm, much ludicrousishness here, mmm, yeah...

SWAT teams are generally highly trained professionals, operating in an offensive mode. This is completely different from the not highly trained amateur in a defensive situation.
One of the biggest mistakes I see gun owners make is emulating LEOs or Military without knowing why they use what they use. 99% of the time what an LEO uses is because of financial constraints, not because it is the best tool to be used.
If you look at HD shootings across the US over the past few decades, you will see just about anything works, provided you can put it on target. It tends to get back to the basics - have a gun, only hits count, make hits early, etc.

Wow that is a lot of folks. Your Action Plan is far more important than your gun choice. Lots of issues. If your teens cannot be trusted with a loaded gun in the house, a handgun might be a lot easier to keep locked up when not in use. Getting a long arm in & out of the safe each night can be a hassle. However an AR/SBR with silencer would work really well also. I would avoid anything really long like a 20 inch AR, but if that is what you have it will work.
