Default bullet resistant sheet rock

Where could I get bullet resistant sheet rock, to use in my upcoming
remodeling?

I'm watching a tv documentary right now, and two people are in a gun
fight in a home, and one hides behind the 2 foot x 2 foot plaster post
at the bottom of the stairs, but the other person shoots right through
it.

I don't want that to happen to me.


Kevlar is a little expensive.

I'd pick one spot in the home and create a barrier by filling the
wall cavity between the sheet rock with whatever building material I
could find cheap. That could be concrete, bricks, paving stones,
sand, rocks.....

A really nice one would have a 4x6 inch bullet proof glass and right
beneath a steel plate with a hole just big enough for your barrel.
