For that matter, why not just put a folding stock on an AK-47?
Even an AK (especially with cheap chinese round - steel cores) is going to go hither and yon and the same for a .223! Even if you hit the evil doer you still stand a good chance of waking up the neighbors in the rudest manner.

Thank goodness my neighbors are at least a half mile away, but I suppose they could still be at risk! I think they should be advised to put some 1/2" plate between me and them.
BTW ... I am in love with the LaRue Predator in 7.62x51. Smokin'!!!!
A .308 is nowhere close to my choice for a home defense round. I live in a townhouse, I'd be leery of my 9mm or .40 going through the wall if I shoot in the wrong direction. That said, if I'm going to get a bullpup, it's going to be a P90 or a FS2000 in 5.56. P90 gets expensive on the ammo, but very fun to shoot. Very comfortable too (to me anyway).
I live rural, .308 (M1a) is my choice for a self defense rifle. I am not saying I would grab it FIRST but if there were a case such as someone shooting at me from the road for some reason I would appreciate the range.
For a "truck gun" I would go for something like an AK pistol.

Heres a pic of it for a comparison, it's on top of the FAL.
It is pretty sharp. I have the Kel-Tec sub 2000 and I like it (it's really my youngest boy's). However, if you are talking home defense, I propose that a Taurus Judge (it shoots both .45 and 410 shells) is probably the best. If you live on a farm or ranch (or you have land) - then a 12 gauge shotgun with 00 buck. But for a home - a revolver. If you have to engage an intruder (which is not anyone's first choice), you will have to deal with narrow hallways and door ways. A revolver (won't jam on you) will allow you greater flexibility with plenty of knock-down power. That is my opinion (other will disagree and that is ok). But, as for the Kel-Tec .308 - I like the gun! It would be a nice firearm fun or use in an insurgency situation (aliens attack or zombie apocalypse or a "Red Dawn" scenario).

If you're in a rural setting and your backstop isn't your family members' bedroom, then by all means. However, that's a handful and earful. If one must use one, then the FN Scar or Socom II would be useful given the shorter barrel length.
I prefer a Semiauto 12 gauge. 00 buck.
