Traditional stocks are better for CQB vs pistol grips.
Fudd rifles are better in front of a jury.

9mm over penetrates vs 223, is less effective and pistols are harder to hit with vs rifles.

AR15.

For all the reasons why LE and Mil use the AR15/M16 platform and not a freaking mini-14

12 gauge with custom hand loads that consist of #4 shot and dragons breath shot material this way when I shoot intruders not only does it neutralize them it cauterizes the wound making cleanup minimal.

AR pistol for you.  Mini too heavy even with
short wood stock.  For me Glock 21 with a light
or laser.  Easy to move around in the dark can use one hand.

Unless you live in an extremely anti-gun area I wouldn't worry about it. Use the best tool to defend yourself and worry about the jury later.

If for some reason I had to live in California, Chicago, NYC, etc... I might consider a mini-14 or fightlite SCR with a wood stock.

But in 99% of the US I will be rocking a SBR, with light, laser, red dot, BUIS, suppressor, 30rd mag, and MK318 or similar barrier blind ammo.

If you are basing your weapons choices on what a jury might say, you are doing it wrong.

No, they're not.
Pistol grip also lets you hold the weapon one-handed more easily (to use the phone, open a door, etc.)

Fudd rifles are better in front of a jury.
Any shot from a firearm is lethal force.
Lethal force = lethal force.

Legit HD shootings shouldn't end up in front of a jury.

If a jury is your primary concern for a HD gun, you should be looking at pump shotguns.

VP9 on the nightstand and a suppressed 300 BO pistol or SBR within arms reach.

Same rationalization as a 12 gage, really.  Don't need to aim it, just point down the hallway and pull the trigger, only with the Mini you just have to do it repeatedly.

You know the whole "6 foot wide pattern of death" urban legend about shotguns?

With the Mini-14, it's reality.

I learned something about myself the other day.

I work from home and heard a loud bang in the garage.  I went to my safe and instinctively grabbed my Glock 19 and went to investigate.

Turns out the laundry basket had vibrated off the dryer and fell on the floor.

But the fact that I went for my Glock rather than an AR or AK was interesting.  Made me wonder what I would do in the middle of the night.  Not sure if I was being lazy and grabbed the easiest gun I could because I knew it probably wasn’t anything or if that is what I’m most comfortable with.

Why not both?

My battleplan is to charge out the bedroom with my 300blk AR pistol, light on but at the low ready so as I close distance with the enemy he can see me, butt naked, uplit in all my glory, with my tiny little ding dong flopping around like a baby carrot hanging from a string.

Distract, close distance, engage.

A serious answer?  Simple.

Everybody wants to study the ballistics of SBR's, pistols, shotguns, calibers, slugs, buckshot, ordinance, etc.

In YOUR house do you really think moving a stocked rifle with a can to be your best choice?  Do you have any 50 yd hallways?  What weapon will give you the best chance of multiple hits on multiple targets at close range?  Keep it simple.  A pistol and a light.  Choose something small with decent capacity that you can stick around a corner and still come up with a good hit.  Keep it simple.

Like all things in life, you're buying time.  No tactical bullshit, you're just buying time.
