Hasn't this been debunked yet?
Read the entire paragraph and don't cherry pick....

I hear you loud and clear, but the over penetration issue with the .223/5.56 and the way OUR house is laid out (kid bedrooms on the far side of the house) is too much of a concern for us to go the full AR route. I think we've settled on the 12 gauge/9 mm tandem (two shooter team) as our choice. But the over penetration issue exists with any useful caliber/load that would be considered for home defense.

I'll cherry pick when its what you did by stating its a 223 issue first.

Choose defense rounds that are of .223 caliber or smaller if you are worried about overpenetration.

Despite the popularity of the round, too few realize that 9mm ball ammo can easily punch through not just one but several interior walls. By contrast, .223 rifle ammunition tends to tumble, turn and slow down when penetrating barriers, even more than a 9mm fired from some pistols. Many shooters like to debate this point, and admittedly on the surface it doesn’t seem logical, but studies done by SWAT teams over a decade ago revealed this phenomenon to be fact and it was one of the main reasons a lot of tactical teams transitioned to M-4s/AR-15s and gave up the H&K MP-5 SMG in the 80s and 90s.
