A .223 round can be effective for home defense due to its relatively low recoil and high velocity, which can result in effective stopping power. However, concerns about over-penetration in a home environment should be considered, as the round can pass through walls and potentially harm unintended targets. Additionally, the choice of ammunition (such as hollow points) can mitigate some risks. Ultimately, personal preference, familiarity with the firearm, and the specific home layout should guide the decision.
