well, since I know my wife doesn't read what I put on this forum,in all reality even if I promise her to shoot below the belt, I might miss and put two in the chest and one in the head like I was trained instead
Good for ya! 
Less chance the intruder would sue you for their injuries , or come back with their gang friends and get even with you. 
I also don't own ANYTHING worth even getting involved with THAT kind of drama, but aside from the fact that I don't OWN the wife or kids, I would go through hell before letting them become a casualty. I've always preached to the family that if you can, grab the gun on your way out the back door. JUST RUN LIKE HELL, and when your out of harms way, call the cops. But if your cornered/confronted or can't get out, shoot to kill.
And I totally agree with you Dave, Why in the hell would you need a AR-15, or equivalent!  Are you REALLY in that kinda place? (or gonna resist a government )

And you may see me tonight
