The M1 carbine!
.308 isn't much of an indoor round.
Benelli with No.2 bismuth, wont penetrated your walls and hurt your family but will eliminate any threat that enters your house.

Dude, a .308 is going to kill anything out to farther than you can see. How can you not consider it an indoor round?...Besides, any round that is powerful enough to stop a threat is going to go through all sorts of walls.
Uh, Dude? That's EXACTLY what he meant.
In fairness though, a load like the 110 gr. Hornady TAP would likely be in the ballpark of the 5.56 with a similarly constructed bullet.Sam1911 said:. . .way too much penetration.
How long is your hallway? Unless you live in a mansion, it is unlikely that a buckshot load will expand to a size larger than your hand before it hits the target (or an interior wall). 00 Buck at 30' (10 yards) resulted in an extreme spread of 10", using very cheap Wolf buckshot. If you pattern your specific gun and load what shoots the tightest, you'll chop that group size down further.I couldn't use a shotgun. I have 4 large dogs. (A 155 pound BullMastiff is the largest.) I don't want to shoot my pup with buck shot while he is helping me. I would choose a pistol or your m1 carbine.
