If you need one, it will be too late to talk about what your first choice would have been.
@ elite_hunter_sh3: The Garand is a poor choice, as is my '03 Springfield, the earlier bolt-action rifle firing the same round. Why? because that round will go through the intruder, through the wall, through the wall across the street and through the neighbor (or his daughter). The shotgun or the .45 would be the best choice: slow lead rounds that won't go much further than the target, and are unlikely to go through the walls when you miss.
