No, but we considered shooting back :)
-> I used to work in a very nice shooting gallery,  We had full length
-> windows for the outside wall... And they were "half silvered" so that we
-> could not see out at all at night....  I'm amazed that some gunman never
-> bothered to look in, realise we could not see him, and plug away.  At
-> 6'+ by 300 lbs I make one  of a target (how could he miss)
At 6'4" and 170, I try to stand sideways as much as possible.
-> I told my bosses that if I heard any bullets zinging off the one thing 
-> that was between me and that window........  
Why LE offices are built that way no one knows.  I worked for a time in
the detectives office on a license fraud case.  The entire outside wall
was glass.  I like windows, but in my home, not where I can be a target.
But when I think about it, my patrol vehicle is a Ford van thats a fish
bowl.  It has a bunch of useless windows that just let everyone see all
the equipment stored in it.  They were added for "resale value".
