I train with those guns several times a month and I'm comfortable with them. An AR is a great home defense tool. There is a reason it is used by our military in a mixture of open field battle as well as close quarters, in-home battles; it works and it work damn well! Generally if you defend yourself with a firearm the type of firearm is not normally admissible in court. Plenty of case law behind that. But if you are still not wanting an AR platform, get a 12ga and train with it, and train with it a lot. Don't fill it with birdshot or trap shot, fill it with buckshot or slugs. If you want something more manuverable get a long barrel pistol. Get a Glock 22 or a Glock 35 with the extended slide. The longer the barrel the more accurate your shot, regardless of target length.
Thanks guys. I have a lot of thinking and even more research to do! I know I can be a pain but I have to convince myself this is the right thing to do even in the first place.
