make the walls shotgun resistant in my condo
I'm trying to figure out the best way to make the walls in my condo safer if God forbid I have a SHTF moment.I have neighbors to the right and to the rear.The walls now have 5/8 sheetrock and cinderblocks to seperate the units.I was thinking about redoing the the sheetrock with Denseglass (yellow board) and cutting pieces to fit in between the studs so I would have cinder block and denseglass.I have a Mossberg 500 12 guage loaded up w/00 buck and a Glock 30 w/45acp jhp's and suggestions?

Re: make the walls shotgun resistant in my condo
I'm pretty sure I wouldn't bother reinforcing cinder block walls.

Drywall + Concrete Block wall will stop anything short of a slug or rifle round.

(Keep in mind that concrete block in a compressed form like in a building wall is stronger then loose bricks.)

Re: make the walls shotgun resistant in my condo

Re: make the walls shotgun resistant in my condo
What's to reinforce? I've heard from some "experts" right here on this very forum, that if you just "rack the slide", the bad guys will run the other way.
Put the hammer down and send any remaining boxes of unnecessary shotgun shells to:
Emptymag
PO Box 1234
Pittsburgh, PA 12345
And yeah, while I'm no expert, I wouldn't be worried if there's concrete block between the units unless I were shown evidence to the contrary.I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!

That block wall isn't going to do anything. I vote for the stainless abode. Just cover every surface in your place in 1/4" stainless. That would rock. If you need matching appliances etc, you can just go here... http://www.stainless-steel-tables.com/
