In that case, several strategically placed firearms would be a good idea. Semi-Auto, pistols, carbine, and shotguns.
PCC vs Shotgun for home defense

Or better just be a really good shot. A PCC with a relatively short barrel is what I can shoot rapidly and accurately, but pistol too.
I never know the real details, news articles don't have that level of information.
Total surprise and overwhelming force most likely.
Bad guys regardless of size or numbers don’t have the sauce for a fight. Any sign of resistance and they are gone. Lots of evidence of this out there. There are plenty of cases of senior citizens and soccer moms with a handgun successfully thwarting off attackers not prepared for a tough night at the office.
IWI TS12 will hold up to 17 depending on how you load it, 15 in the mag tubes with nothing in the chamber or feed ramp. The nice thing about 12Ga is the variety of rounds, you could start with beanbag or rubber rounds(some sort of less than lethal) and progress up through buckshot and slugs.
Pretty sure the news plays those cases down. In fact I know that for a fact.

what is this?
Never assume that. That assumption could be an invitation for a burial plot.
Yeah I see what you’re saying. Mindset that the worst will always happen. I get it. But not everyone is going to able tool up and train up to the worst case scenario… However the entire gun community acts like everyone is in need of hundreds of hours of training and a decked out ARs with gear to protect themselves. And I think it does a disservice. There are financially, struggling single parents out there, looking for a way to protect themselves. Or elderly couples not physically capable of handling a long gun. Average Joe’s defend themselves every day with little or no training and small arms.
I figure if my 8 shot Mossberg doesn’t stop what’s happening it’s more than a home invasion. It’s a ground assault. Hopefully that never takes place on our soil. With the current tension in our world today it is becoming more a reality.
Likely so. But I think people up play it on our end as well.
Everyone likes to talk about gear and the need for this or that weapon. But what about physical readiness? How often do you work out? What is your diet like? Do you drink alcohol? How much sleep did you get last night? Are you currently having issues with your spouse or having a tough time at work? Don’t these things matter…. We focus too much on the tools and not the person. I bet if one spent more time focused on being more physically fit to prepare for a fight and less on what gear they have it would serve them much better in the long run.
If one is tooling up for a drawn out, high stress gun battle, but not also lifting weights, running, watching their diet, training in hand to hand combat, etc. then they are kidding themselves.
PCC?
Is this like calling everything a "platform" or a "system"....
Can I get the non-corporate speak non-acronym version...?

I keep a loaded Ruger Redhawk 44 mag and a 12 gauge Remington shotgun
loaded in our house.
A 20 or 12 gauge scattergun with #4 buck or BB's will fit the bill quite well. Ye olde scattergun regardless of capacity or type will get the job done. Most likely there will not be time to aim, just point and shoot. A good example of this is the "Trench Broom" used by our Doughboys in WW1. The 1897 Winchester pump gun and it's substitutes were so effective that the Germans filed a complaint that said weapon violated the Hauge Convention as it caused "unnecessary suffering" meaning that it wounded/killed multiple troops with one shot. What is important to consider is the recovery time between shots. Follow through racking that slide in a smooth motion, muscle memory if you will. If that 12 gauge recoil kicks your shoulder back like you are throwing a fastball then try a 20 gauge. If that 20 feels more like throwing a softball underhand then there is your answer.
Ah so an AR6951...
Can I SBR it (Short Barrel Rifle) kinda hard to get in a holster...
Gimme a defender in the sacred caliber beginning with 4 if i gotta carry it, other wise Government Model....

cool other than it is vs shotgun....not pistol
Remington 870 for me. 18.5" barrel. 5 rounds.
Prepair for the worst situation and hope for the best.
my circumstances are definitely in the minority...infection has destroyed sight in my non dominant eye & the dead tissue in the back of that eye is prone to detachment...any firearm that generates a moderate to heavy recoil impulse is gone! shotgun, hunting rifle, even magnum handguns with concussive force have been sold off or traded; with that said...
I have tooled around with different brand 9mm PCC's in the past few years and cannot rebuild a 'system' due to finances so I rely on a Ruger 10/22 compact in 22lr using cci minimag solids in that role; I have shot an AR-15 (.223) with no detriment so I might contemplate stepping up later on...
