at the end of the post.

I stand by what I wrote, better locks and a more secure home will serve you better than a gun.

Given your history with firearms it doesn't seem as if a different type of firearm will solve your problems.

That you are asking this question on a liberal web site indicates you are not thinking clearly on the issue.

A dedicated firearm site such as http://thefiringline.com/forums/ has hundreds of threads addressing your question. Many of the posters there are trained professionals such as this woman http://www.corneredcat.com/

If you hope to solve your problem with a gun you really need to rethink your home security strategy.
