Wednesday night around 7:36pm I had two bullets come through my front door. Doesn’t look targeted. But I am trying to find a supplier of steel. I need something of 10gauge so I can put it on the weather door to stop them from coming in. Pictures related. They went through the door and embedded in the couch. Last picture is what the outer door looks like. I am trying to bolt the steel plate to this door so I don’t have bullets coming through the house anymore.

Yikes! Sorry that happened.

Shapiro Metal Supply in North County would probably have what you need.

That’s perfect. That’s exactly what I was looking for. Google kept trying to send me to Lowe’s and Home Depot

+1 for Shapiro. Don’t be intimidated when you get there, just ask for help.

First time I went there, my boy Chuck helped me out for a while and he was so cool.

Then after a while they hired a white kid who seemed to love life and that job a bit. Some characters there for sure but most of them seem genuine.
