I was actually discussing a similar idea with a friend of mine. He is, in his own words, "armed to the teeth" in preparation for a home invasion or worse. Anyway, we were talking about what the best weapon would be for home defense. I thought, "tactical shotgun" would be best, but he brought up a good point - the spray would really f' up my apartment. <-- probably the last thing on my mind, but an interesting point.
Anyway, he has a Glock 32 and a S&W .357 Magnum revolver. I guess either would work well enough to ward off an attacker. Opinions?
I don't own a gun, but I'd like to hear what you guys think. My baseball bat probably wouldn't get too far in NOLA right now.

Happs, what Daniel said, that .357 Magnum may easily kill a neighbor if you miss. Most shotgun pellet loads will not go through two house walls. That makes it superior in strictly home defense.
That, and the sound of racking a shell into the chamber could scare off an intruder! I've heard 0000 buckshot described as a cloud of nine 9 mm projectiles (though only simple balls).
454 Casull? That's insane for a handgun round. Should call it a hand cannon. A non-compound bow is a hard way to hunt too (I'm ignoring the knife, too crazy!).

Hand stings a bit with either after a few rounds.
In some ways it's easier to aim in some ways it's a bltch.

You know his background.
You know his level of skill.
Anyway not my job to convince you of anything.
