Don't forget that if you use a weapon in an HD scenario, chances are that it will be confiscated for evidence. Do you want to lose your most cherished, most expensive, most accurate, etc weapon to an evidence locker, perhaps forever? Get a weapon (AR, shotgun, handgun, Phalanx or whatever) that is dedicated to HD duties and not just pulled out of your regular inventory during an emergency.
