Go for the Taurus if you have to pick, otherwise I get the impression that you kinda want to kill somebody (since shotguns tear people apart).

What in the world are you talking about? I want to KILL SOMEONE? Are you nuts? Did you ready anything I wrote? This is why its so hard to have a discussion with some people.

I want to PROTECT MY FAMILY. I will regret having to kill someone to do so, but I certainly will not avoid killing at all costs. The whole idea of a home defense firearm is to take out the invader as quickly and easily as possible, because the more hurdles you put in front of that goal, the more likely you are to get shot/killed by the invader.

In any case, if I hit someone with a .45 bullet, they're just as dead as they would be if I hit them with buckshot. I just have a higher chance of missing.

Going with the shotgun. This actually helped a lot!
