if i wouldn't kill people, i'd get a gun. however, if i had one, i would use it. and be in jail. sooo, just big dogs.they're good at scaring people off, and if someone WAS stupid enough to break in, i'd have enough time to get the handy dandy cast-iron skillet to bash heads in. plus cast-iron is bullet proof. guns, in the right hands, are wonderful tools. mine are not right.
Cast iron is not bulletproof. It's too brittle to absorb much kinetic force through plastic deformation.
Even with something as large as a cast-iron bathtub, it would still cause spalling (the impact on the outside that didn't punch through would still travel through to cause fragments on the inside to crack and fly off).
There's also not just one kind of bulletproof, which is why body armor is rated in six levels (Type I, IIA, II, IIIA, III, IV) for the different penetration powers ranging from .22 plinkers to .44 Magnum revolvers and rifle rounds.
