"Load up with steel core or A/P ammo."

Yep. That stuff will go through walls and everything, killing your own children as they lie in their beds.

Ah, wait. You don't have kids I bet. OK. That stuff will go through walls and everything, killing your neighbor's children as they lie in their beds.

But you'll be safe, thank God.

And it will shoot down airliners, don’t forget.

Two policemen were saved by bulletproof vests and helmets, and Mr. Khang, Ms. Moua and their children, possessing no body armor, happened to be curled in the right places to avoid the return gunfire.

Not surprising to see you defending the officers firing blindly. Please be aware that boot polish is a carcinogen.

A 22LR will go through walls. Any cartridge that is an effective man stopper will go through multiple walls.

If you look at the odds of an innocent person being hurt in a legitimate self-defense shooting if the homeowner does not shoot (a very high percentage considering someone would not shoot otherwise), versus the chance of a bullet going through walls and hitting an innocent person (so small as to be close to zero), the odds say you should load up on hard-hitting ammo.

Real AP ammo is almost non-existant anyway. 30-cal black-tip is only sold as a component bullet, so you would have to load it yourself, and to penetrate class IV armor you would have to load it into at least a 30 Win Mag.

Whatever works and deters.
