The argument is you can't possibly retrieve such weapons in time if properly stored. So stick with the good old fashioned shotgun and keep a clean toy pistol around for planting.

sphelps is a hundred percent correct, restricted firearms will be a bit tough to explain to the cop or the judge once the intruder has been neutralized.
12 gauge will be the best bet. I would love to see AR's get on the none-restricted list as long as its 18.5 barrel length, never made sense to me when you can keep a sks in the none-restricted segment when it can be easily converted to an full auto that shoots 30 cal but not an AR that shoots 223. Anyways, that's a discussion for anther thread on anther forum...
