When someone is breaking into my house, what do I go for...? For everyone I suppose it is different. As ex-military, I would personally take a 410 shotgun. Why? Because I can take someone out in my bedroom, and not worry about my kid sleeping in the next room. Period! You just want to drop the intruder, not your friend next door. A 410 will do the job but it will not go through two sheets of gyproc! It is very important for you to consider this, or you could wind up with a lot more trouble than just missing your TV.
Another reason is you don't have to be a great aim with a shotgun. You would be amazed at what people can miss at just 5 yards with a handgun, at a range! Throw in some stress and inexperience, that gun just might be taken away by the crook and then used on YOU!

What brand is good? Mossberg, Remington,Winchester... They are all good. Talk to a reputable gun shop. You are not looking for a service weapon. You might plink with it for a while, then it just ends up in the closet "just in case". Find something that feels comfortable and fits your budget.

What do I use? An empty Mossberg 500 Tactical! Nothing chills shit faster than hearing the action of a pump, the green laser really adds to it! Pretty much I will have to beat the bastard with it if he does not lie on the floor. If I shoot the bastard, I will lose my guns, probably be sued by the crook or his family, and/or go to jail. The laws protect whom???

At any rate, I am not recommending firearms for your home protection, I am merely answering your question. ANYTHING that you pull on an intruder has the potential to be used on YOU!
Good luck!
