Guys and Gals, I'm looking to purchase my first long rifle for home defense, protectinga family of six. I own a crappy 9mm hangun that I bought at a pawn shot eons ago. Can anyone recommend an online site that is reasonably priced and reputable? Also, recommendations on manufacturer, caliber, capacity and dependability will be greatly appreciated.

Get an AR-15 in 5.56. Get a 16” barrel with a 1-7 Twist.
If you can legally own 30 round magazines get a few of them.
AR-15 parts are standardized to a military specification so most ARs are pretty reliable as long as the manufacturer follows the milspec standard.
If you are handy look into building your own as you will get a better gun for the money and it’s not really that difficult to put one together.
Get about 200 rounds to practice with before you do anything else with it.
Get a good sling, and probably a light if you want it for home defense.
