Also long guns are not good for home defense. Short carbines and shottys are OK, but a pistol is the right tool.
You have to look at length, noise signature, over penetration, there are a lot of considerations that go into choosing a defensive weapon vice an offensive one. Why do cops carry pistols instead of rifles for the most part? Because most of the time they are in tight quarters, short range. Because you don't want that 5.56 going through your target, through the wall and into the kid sleeping in the next room. Additionally concealed carry is actually safer and less provacative than open carry.
