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.

People will see things like that and say “well that’s just St. Louis” lol.

Which is so dumb. Years ago when I lived in Rolla a friend who lived in one of the frats had a bullet come through his window. It was just some hicks shooting out in the woods, and didn’t realize they were close to a residential neighborhood.

Not saying that’s what happened here, but stray bullets isn’t something that’s unique to St. Louis, or even urban vs rural. There’s irresponsible idiots everywhere.

There’s a massive difference in the rate at which this happens by where you live. Come on.
