    Why not use them as a backstop to an impromptu firing range in your basement!?!?!

    Or, a tad more seriously, put them inside your walls for sound dampening and over-penetration mitigation purposes. books are actually pretty good bullet stoppers.

    NOT TRUE!!! At least not in my on-time experience!
    Years ago, the boy was 7 and I bought him a Crickett .22 rifle, mounted a little scope on it for him, it was bad-ass and frankly I was more excited about it than I think he was. I had to zero that baby in the finished basement. Couldn't wait to take it to the range. Stacked a bunch of phone books and a target in front and fired. One and done, all the way through the phone books and into the wall. it was concrete behind the sheetrock but I was amazed it penetrated the phone books and it was LOUD in the basement too.
    Seriously, I hear books are good in that regard, but it may take far more to stoup a round than you realize.
