Abstract: An attractive, wall-mounted bullet-proof shield, designed to stop the penetration of a bullet when accidently discharged from a firearm. The bullet-proof shield comprises a back layer made of metallic material, a middle layer made of wood, and a front layer made of plastic, all housed within an outer frame. The shield has an attractive appearance which enables it to be used as a wall hanging or as a piece of furniture. The middle layer is designed to partially absorb the energy of a discharged bullet while the back layer is metallic and designed to stop the penetration of a bullet. The front layer is made of an anti-shattering material designed not to shatter and to prevent wood and metallic particles from rebounding outward toward the user. In one embodiment, the front layer is transparent and an optional aiming sheet is disposed between the outside surface of the wood layer and the inside surface if the front layer.
