Exactly. Gun proof your kids. Teach them safety.

When my youngest was three he asked to see my guns. I pulled out a small .380 and we reviewed the safety rules first. I somewhat purposely didn’t remind him to keep his finger off the trigger until ready to fire.

20 years later, I can still see him trying to stretch his little finger over the trigger guard. That’s gun proofing your kids.

Mr or Mrs neighbor, are you a professionally trained security expert? Have you ever been trained in the use, storage and safe transportation of firearms? If not then STFU.

Papercrete blocks are ballistically resistant. Create a mold for a size of brick that will fit between your studs, behind your sheetrock. When you “remodel”, install the blocks.

Not 100% but is better than sheetrock.

If you are building, consider using ICF for your walls.

There’s an old martial arts saying out there, I heard it years ago, and it is apropos.
