Reconsidering 9mm for Home Defense Given LAPD Shooting

I'd move if gunfire at my house was that much of a concern.

Back to 12 gauge shotguns, I'm a newbie, though I understand #00 and #4 buckshot. I've never heard of #0 buckshot:

12 Gauge | Buckshot | 0B Shot | Aguila Ammunition

Would it have less over-penetration than #00?

sheet rock is far from a barrier

Thanks. The area in question at my place is a bit too tight for a bookcase, but would 5/8" plywood covered by some sort of metal, say of the Simpson Strong Tie type used for earthquake and hurricane retrofits, suffice?

Sorry, don't know. Just know about bookcases. I don't know what Simpson Strong Tie is.

HOWEVER, it's something you can test. Make up a sample and take it to the range. Which sounds like a fun project to me.

I assume a metal plate barrier will introduce a new concern: ricochets.
