“Two 1/4 sheets? Most doors are 1/8 when heavy built.”

That was what I measured on the closing side of the door. I just looked at the other side of the door where it attaches to the hinges and that looks like 1/8 inch. That must be what it is.

So, there is some protection there but since I wouldn’t know what kind of bullet was going to be shot at the door, I’d better not stand in front of the door.

I was skeptical whether or not the door would be strong enough to deter bullets and from you and Johnny, it isn’t.

I think most people think their front door is protection from bad guys and that is false. One must have a “protection” device in his/her hand to have actual protection in a worse case situation.

Handguns, yes, rifles, probably not. It is always best to control a situation and not let it control you by putting you on the defensive and having to resort to hiding behind a door.
