I voted for handgun but not one of those pictured above. Check out Para Ordnance's P12-45. Lot's of knocking power is what you need to protect your family.

If you're looking for home defense go and get either gun previously mentioned, or a 12 gauge with double ought buck, you don't really even need to aim that much. So my vote would be for intercooler or a different type of gun.
For home defense, you can't beat the shotgun. OP mentioned carrying the weapon though, which means a shotgun is out of the question.

And some safety classes, as well as common sense.

I've owned handguns since I was 18 (In AZ it's legal to buy and own a handgun at 18), and there have been 2 times that I wish I'd had my gun and didn't. One was last week, actually. Luckily I was able to remove myself from the situation before it got worse, but if I hadn't had that option, I don't know how things would have ended up.

What is peoples facination with guns do you really believe they make you safer or do you guys just like feeling like you have power?, No one needs a gun, get the intercooler... Most murders are by people you know not bad guys with masks and stiped shirts.

in a bad situation some people want to do something to defend them selves rather then screaming loudly for help and waiting for the police to come to the rescue.
And then you can go to prison.
I dont need a gun to defend myself or my family.

I have both a XD and a ETS intercooler!!

I bought the XD 9mm service model. Best handgun I've ever owned (other than my colt 1911).

ETS intercooler is awesome too, but I'd go with the XD. Stock intercooler is plenty good.

And if that person(s) has one, how well is your defense?
