A Mossberg pump-action with a 14 - 18 inch barrel will do the trick. Keep the shoulder stock on it, the pistol grip on the back can hurt your wrist if you don't hold it right, but it's nice to have on the front. Better to brace it with your shoulder. If you don't have it in you to kill someone, you can also get bean bags or rubber buckshot that can down a person. But if you're going to only hurt them, you could open yourself up to a law suit. Just shot him in the front (never in the back) and keep shooting him until he is mush.

Death to anyone who breaks into my house. I'll deal with the repercussions later.

Glad to hear you're ok.
