:roll: Most homes only have drywall seperating the rooms, if this is the case, I can poke my fist through both walls. Most interior walls walls will not stop a bullet from any caliber gun. That said, my major concern would be, shooting through the bad guy, through the wall, and hitting another family member in the ajoining room.
A while back I read about a bullet that would come apart after penetration, yet had the weight and power to stop a man. I don't remember the name, but if they are out there, and they do work, then something like that would be ideal for in the home, especially if there are children sleeping in the next room.
It would be my luck that I grabed the .44 mag, shoot through the bad guy, the bullet then rips through the HVAC room, taking out the hot water heater and air conditioner, and it is one of those 110 degree nights. Now I have a flooded house, no air, and some puke bleeding all over the place................Honey, get the insurance agent on the phone NOW, then call my lawyer and the police......... :wink:
