A guy I worked with was telling me he had a .44 magnum specifically for home defense and when I told him that didn't seem like a good idea he just assumed I had an issue with him owning a gun at all. I tried to explain that discharging a gun capable of firing through entire houses could do more harm than good in such a situation, but he was too busy getting a Rambo-boner over splattering a fictitious invader's guts all over the ceiling and walls to listen.
I agree with you.
A 44mag is not a good choice (apart from the sight of it scaring the intruder).
If discharged, everyone will be slightly blinded from the muzzle flash and completely deaf.
Hollow-points would cut down on penetration, but it would still reduce block walls to rubble.
And if you actually shot an intruder, be prepared to defend yourself in court for use of excessive force or murder due to the amount power it has.
