Esox 357,

How big is your house? Birdshot in a shotgun if fine for home defense against bad guys up to 30 yards. I would never use 00 or 000 buckshot because they will surely overpenetrate sheet rock walls even if a few of the 00s find a BG.

Do not underestimate birdshot from a 12 gauge. At 30 feet or less, the shot column will act like a slug and the BG will not notice any difference.
