I need an AR-15 because they penetrate less than handguns in the interior of the home (9mm/45).  Because of this, they are safer to discharge and generally less likely to kill someone in adjacent room where I did not intend to discharge the gun.

I am a huge proponent for carbines for HD defense.  So many people are still stuck in the old mindset that the 5.56/.223 will zip thru exponentially more walls than a handgun caliber.  Its been proven over and again in recent years that they shed their energy faster and begin to tumble/fragment much faster than 9mm/.45. 

There is a good reason most agencies and departments that do house clearing have switched from subguns, to SBR carbines.
