You are responsible for collateral damage.

I think a MOAB would be appropriate self defense to Pig. I could be wrong.

Rifle if all you have its all you have but no I don't believe its the best option. First up is probably a 12g.....but I use a pistol. A rifle round will go long ways through walls....that is bad.

Consider frangible ammo. It was mandated at the indoor range I was a member of in Connecticut for rifle rounds. Going into the human body, it imparts all its energy at the same time. AKA... "makes a mess inside". But if it hits a wall, it might get through one sheet of sheet rock before it breaks up. Much better round for apartment/condo dweller IMHO.

Pistol for me as well, I'm well trained and can maneuver much easily with pistol in hand. I don't own a shotty or a black rifle.

Basic rule, know your target and what's behind it.

this^^^ is so simple but brilliant. But in the heat of the moment if a break in is happening most people I would bet don't think of this.

55 grain soft point prairie dog bullets. The original "frangibles."

However, I prefer a pistol caliber carbine loaded with hollow points because it's not as loud. I've lost enough hearing already.
