You always hear of the AR 15 as being a good home defense gun. I see the AR as a great self defense gun but not a gun that should be discharged in a home. The .223 is a high powered round and will go through plywood and sheet rock just as easily as it would a piece of paper.
And even the short barreled AR "pistol" guns that are in .223 seem to me to be way over powered for home defense. The problem of course being the bullet going through walls and into a neighbor's house.
As to what constitutes better choices for home defense is a moot point and I'm not looking to get into that here. Just that it seems to me the .223 is too much for an inside the house defense caliber.
Am I wrong?
