...my kids 8" thick stack of books will probably stop a 9MM as well as this will...Huh, now you've gone and made me curious. I have some old textbooks downstairs I'm going to have to try my own hardware on...

I have shot books before, they make a great bullet catch, within reason. A couple of thick hardcover books like the kids carry will stop a 9MM no problem, and would probably hurt a whole lot less than bulletproof material would also.

You should photograph and post the results. I, for one would be interested.
