[QUOTE="AMNick, post: 7893986, member: 67922"] Not sure you want a rifle for home defense. That's a lot of power, especially if you have "friendlies" in the house. Missing and shooting through walls would be bad if your wife and kids are on the other side of the wall. I would recommend a decent tactical or home defense shotgun like the Mossberg Home Defender shotgun. If you want the scary black rifle look though, a carbine like the Beretta CX4 Storm in 9mm might do the trick. The magazines are interchangeable with some of their pistols too, so you could have the mags ready to go, and select between the CX4 and the pistol depending on the situation. If you really want to go with more power, the AR15 platform is extremely versatile as far as accessories/calibers/mags/stocks go. And IF you can find one, a decent one can be had for around $1000-1500 once it is all said and done. I have a Bushmaster XM15, but for things that go bump in the night, I go for my shotgun and a pistol as backup. The sound of a pump action shot gun being racked can be a great audible deterrent to a bad guy without a shot ever being fired. -Nick [/QUOTE]
