I use a handgun for defensive purposes since they're a little easier to handle indoors. Easier to hide from the little one, too. Although I guess my KSG would do pretty well inside, as well. 26" in overall length is pretty crazy for a shotgun. LOL my shotgun has 28''......barrels! Sure, shorter barrels would be more beneficial in close quarters though I don't find it too hard to maneuver around with it. The upside of long barrels is they point so well, target acquisition is super fast. You bring the shotgun to your shoulder and its already pointing exactly where you looking at, you just have to shoulder it and pull the trigger. Well I look at this way personally,building/indoor fighting and or firefights are not like in the movies. You will need to acquire and engage within handful of seconds, maybe half a minute if they haven't a good idea where you are, and if you are alone that timeframe is iffy at best, if you have backup you can proceed according to standard indoor SOP which is to have neutralized as much of the hostilities inside before entry, but that's tricky when its your own home and they are breaching. Best option in that scenario is to hold back near an internal wall with no exposed windows and take cover, if they enter the room, you engage, presenting as little of yourself as possible while doing so. In this scenario weapon selection truly on matters in the facets of ease of use, speed of use and lethality (which really shouldn't be a problem given nearly all firearms are lethal if properly used) But yeah, the objective of securing the home against invaders is neutralization of all hostiles as quickly as possible, if they are alone great but if they have friends outside you could be in a world of hurt going out there, SOP for urban warfare is to ALWAYS assume more hostiles. So yeah, hold up, sit tight, arm yourself, prepare to defend yourself if your location is breached, get the authorities on the horn if you can and protect yourself with whatever measures are necessary. My life is always going to be more important to me then some thief trying to steal my shit.
