An official Red Ryder carbine action 200-shot range model air rifle with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time.
Just don't shoot your eye out, kid!

The answer is the M18A1 Claymore mine. At 50 yards it provides a kill zone 6.5 feet high by 55 feet wide.
The drawback is that any tripwire activated configuration is prohibited by the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention. So it must be command detonated.
You could take one of the Thai slave girls sewing down in the basement and put her to work manning your new Claymore Command and Control Station.

given where you live, in proximity to 29 Palms (and Pomona), you should look into getting one of these babies:

mounted out on the periphery of your property...
could be hell on the coyotes and other small critters though...
pretty sure you can program that rig not to shoot holes in your house, get them before they get in alleviates the need for messy cleanup of the compound...
this will also work if they try to come in from the air...

G'damn! That Phalanx rig reminded me of the Hippo Fart vid! Looks very effective for perimeter security.

Step up Russ, don't be a wuss and come at them mano e mano brah! You don't need to go shootin on people, use yer wits and if needed, fists. Thats what I did last go round I caught some jackwad trying to climb in my house window. 3am, in nothing but my skimpies ....
...talkin to the policewoman afterwards...nearly buck assed naked....3am near naked outside in teh cool night air after the post confrontation adrenaline rush: shrinkage comes to mind....humorous to me given the arsenal I'd left back inside my home.
However on the advice part, I'd personally go with a 12 ga if I could only have a single weapon. It would be a Mossberg Mariner 590. 2nd choice the 870 Marine Magnum.They typically come with full stocks but you can put the pistol grip on it. Shooting it in that configuration will work your manliness and ain't for the limp wristed. It's for personal defense only, and no joy to practice on it. Here's my son holding the short config 870 Remington. They go for under $300 I think.
Marine magnum version I'd rather have.
If I added a pistol it would be a .45 Sig Sauer P220 in stainless. They make a couple models, the Sport N being a larger, but sweeter shooter. If you go down this road, get a nice safe with an electronic lock (fast access) to keep your stuff in. Or some good hiding spots like this clock below.

Meth heads are basically like zombies so I'd go with a crossbow.

How about something I can also get through courthouse and TSA security, you know, in case someone tries to rob me (or worse!) in the mens room?

If I lived in Kali I'd have a Ruger PC4 and a stack of 10 rounders and matching pistol.
Same with a Mini 14, lots of 10 rounders.
A few riot guns rounds it out.
Make sure something has a SureFire light on it.

how about my 'Trained Skunk' defense-in-depth security system:
outer perimeter consists of signs: 'Warning, Bio-engineered Attack Skunks!'
next defensive layer has trip-wire activated squirt cannons (from toy stores) hidden in fluffy skunk cuddle toys, loaded with coverup skunk scent (purchased from hunting stores), and with supplementary aerosol horns attached (from West Marine stores)
next defensive layer is a family of very friendly de-scented indoor/outdoor skunks, carefully trained to expect food from all visitors
inner defensive layer (bedroom) consists of skunk costume pajamas and mace canisters
(go for chemical weapons, as gunpowder weapons are pretty much of a big drag, due to leaving messy bodies laying around and all the explaining, press, social controversy, and legalities involved)

Three deterrents every household needs to have posted in their front yards -
Attorney on retainer.
Kirby Vacuum Cleaner Salesman.
Jehovah's Witness Tract Peddler.
With this mix, you can rest assured that at least one will be effective in defending your hovel.

Retreat.
Find someplace civilized where the cop per square mile ratio is higher than .007
And where the methhead per 1000 is less than 420
