You really need a hand free for movement or opening doors, and a pistol is harder to wrestle away from you. The other factor is muzzle blast could stun you enough to be disoriented. Unless you are wearing tactical electronic hearing protectors.
Then you have the political fall out angle. Cops, prosecutors, and even neighbors get in on the "oh my God an assault rifle!" bandwagon and could possibly be a bad outcome. Shotguns and handguns are more benign in that regard.

Thank you medic15al,
I appreciate the response. I am thinking the 9mm and the shotgun (with the right ammo) will be good too. Lots of different response online. Like I said, I am concerned for my neighbors.
I do like the shotgun too with my flashlight.
