Im a big movie buff.
I always have been.
The storytelling through movies and television shows is one of my absolute favorite things.
However, in movies with these characters, there are many common Hollywood gun myths.
In theJohn Wickmovies, we see suppressors on guns making them near silent.
If they edit in noise, it almost sounds like a futuristic squelch of a laser gun.
Bystanders can pass oblivious to the gunfight happening around them.
The short answer to this question may seem obvious to you.
Merriam Webster defines bulletproof as impenetrable to bullets.
Cover or Just Concealment?
So, is there any cover in your home?
But those items are not bulletproof.
There are certain items in your home that can give you added protection, though.
First, lets talk about what is not one of those items.
In Hollywood movies, you tend to see these objects used a lot.
This would not be the case in the real world.
I suppose if you have the heaviest solid oak table in the world it could potentially stop some bullets.
For the most part, though, this is a complete myth.
Couches and refrigerators are other items you see people use as cover from gunfire.
Here is the truth.
Are those items better than standing in the open?
Possibly yes, but it would depend on the situation, of course.
Could some of those pieces actually stop a projectile from hitting you?
Its of course, relative.
If your attacker has anM1 Garand chambered in 30-06, I doubt it would hinder the round at all.
However, if the threat has a.380 ACP pistol, it just might.
Again, its all relative.
A common thing every home has that can do this is a door jamb.
Door jambs are comprised of multiple layers of 24 boards to support a heavy header joist above.
This inventory process should bepart of any home defense plan.
You will categorize them as concealment or cover and wonder if they can provide some bullet deflection.
