Don't necessarily discount a .223 or one of its variants as Crompsin posted. Heck, my Bushmaster DCM rifle is what I use, but the AR Carbines are small enough to keep in a drawer, yet they also have an intimidation factor.
In fact, a good friend of mine (and former CMP Highpower teammate) scared a robber out of his home with an empty M1A. He had his handgun with him, but did not want to shoot if he didn't have to. Being behind a closed door, he simply yelled "I'm armed", allowed the bolt on the rifle to snap shut, and the thief panicked and booked as fast as possible. No actual confrontation took place.
