If you want a good gun to do it all start with a handgun and work from there. Add maybe a shotgun to keep loaded somewhere in your house in addition to your handgun that is on your nightstand while you sleep.

While shotguns are great for home defense, they can't protect you very well outside of the house. Having weapons throughout the house ready to go into action is totally overkill (unless you have immediate reason to believe otherwise) IMO. I feel when it comes to weapons having a .22 on your person 90% of the time is more effective than having a .357 mag, or .45 that was left in the car or at home because it was too big/bulky to carry.

Do some research and pick the best weapon for you. You will likely learn the limitations of the platform you selected and want to buy more weapons to fill the void. Then it only goes downhill from there lol.
