Unless you live in a huge open home strategically an assault rifle makes no sense. A 9mm or 45semi auto are much more effective as one can aquire the target and aim far quicker. Unless you plan to spray your home with bullets hoping no one innocent either in or out of the house is in the path. For that type of defense a short barreled shotgun would be better suited. Also think a handgun equipped with a laser site could be effective w/o firing a shot
