[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2976977, member: 5412"] Any firearm going off in the home is going to be loud and probably cause permanent hearing damage. At the time of the incident your hearing will likely go into auditory exclusion and you won't remember anything until the ringing in the ears after the fact. Bigfugs suggestion of using electronic ear muffs at the night stand is the likely answer if a silencer isn't on the rifle or pistol. I keep a set of electronic ear muffs on the passenger side of my vehicles if nobody is sitting there. Somebody mentioned on here awhile back that in a road rage incident where you can't get away, just the act of putting on some ear muffs may very well calm down the mad person, and if not and goes further down hill, at least your hearing is protected. I took that as good advice, and have done it ever since. Round? if it were me, I'd be looking at a bullet designed to take varmints that is frangible. It tends to expand inside the animal violently, fragment and not cause a pass through in a lot of cases. [/QUOTE]
