OK, agree the 50 cal is not a good choice. But my 12 gage pump with 18.5 inch barrel, is legal, and effective. Turns out it is now the weapon of choice in Iraq, for house to house clean up.

I think the 12 ga. pump is the original "assualt weapon". Wasn't it invented for trench warfare, circa WWI?
My wife always vetos any weapon I propose. But if I really thought I needed one, it would be a 20 ga. autoloader with #4s and cut down to the legal minimum. That's enough power to take anyone off their feet (if they're inside my house). Most importantly it's "tame" enough I could teach her to use it effectively. Not many ladies want to deal with a 12 gauge!
