Best weapon type for home defense?

LOL i see a bunch of people having a bad day if they get their homes broken into, trying to wield around shotguns and baseball bats. My .45 has great stopping power, is small and has capacity to get any defense situation handled.

People like to talk a big game about scaring an intruder, fuck that. I don't want to give them any notice or time to attack me. I want just enough time to see they are armed and its over.

100% the best post ive seen in this thread so far . On another note AIM TO KILL. Sadly our laws protect the criminal. If you were to just injure him you are leagally obligated to pay for his medical bills and he can turn arround and sue you after. And if you were to paralize the person you could be paying their medical bills for life. IMO if someone were in my house i wouldnt give them the chance to leave or the chance to harm me or my family.

And as far as the guard snake idea that i saw earlier. Same goes for that you cannot legally do that. There was a HUGE case about that in texas a guy would set loose rattle snakes into his warehouse that was getting continuously broken into at night. Someone got bit breaking in and sued the guy to hell and back even though he had signs posted. But i dont really see the difference between a guard dog and signs or any other animal and signs. Personally how ever you protect your property is your own buisness and how ever you do it is fine with me. Either way the guy broke in then won the case from getting bit by a rattle snake. Its crazy how the criminals are protected more than the people that are trying to make a real living.

actually thats incorrect. in Georgia you have immunity when acting in self defense. we have castle doctrine along with immunity.

O.C.G.A. § 51-11-9
Immunity from civil liability for threat or use of force in defense of habitation
A person who is justified in threatening or using force against another under the provisions of Code Section 16-3-21, relating to the use of force in defense of self or others, Code Section 16-3-23, relating to the use of force in defense of a habitation, or Code Section 16-3-24, relating to the use of force in defense of property other than a habitation, has no duty to retreat from the use of such force and shall not be held liable to the person against whom the use of force was justified or to any person acting as an accomplice or assistant to such person in any civil action brought as a result of the threat or use of such force.
