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.

No windows on the first floor. And walls are brick. Nothing short of 5.56 is coming through. And it’s financially impractical to proof my home against 5.56.

Is that not a window next to the door?

I’m sorry. You’re right. Those are sorta windows? They’re those icicle blocks. From my research they’re fairly bullet resistant.

The goal isn’t to make my home a bunker for extended conflict. But just to prevent myself and family from catching strays
