SDR: Nope, actually not. I don’t recommend guns for home defense at all. That might sound strange, coming from an avowed gun person, but, statistically speaking, your own gun is more likely to be used against you during a burglary. If you have kids, you’re really playing with fire in terms of keeping a loaded weapon in the house.
I own a good number of guns and I keep them all locked up in my safe. I store my ammo separately, and neither of my kids know where it is. For protection against burglars, I have a nice 10″ SOG survival knife (which I keep out of sight, but close by the bed) and I’m willing to bet Mr. Burglar will be dead before he knows I’m there. Nice thing about knives is that they never run out of ammo, never misfire or jam and, in the right hands, are absolutely lethal close in.
If you do decide to keep a gun for home defense, discuss 12ga shotguns with your instructor and see if he offers training with them. You can pick up an excellent Mossberg or Remington 12ga from your local gun store (don’t buy at Big 5, please) and relatively inexpensively. Extremely intimidating weapon and devastating at close range.
Any handgun that lasts 25,000 rounds reliably you can’t really beat. If going for a semi-auto I would check out the Springfield xD. Fun, accurate, reliable and easy to use and clean. 9mm is cheap to shoot but 0.40 is only slightly less cheap and has good stopping power.

Hmmm… knives can just as easily be used against you in a burglary if not easier since they are much more pick up usable than a random gun. I have a host of knives around the house and my faith in them as HD weapons is that I am better trained than anyone who tries to hurt me with them.
Guns are also way better in case of zombie attacks!
