A modular bullet resistant sentry station comprising:
- a first panel having a portion of an interlocking mechanism;
- a second panel having a second corresponding portion of an interlocking mechanism, said second panel positioned adjacent to and overlapping a vertical edge of said first panel;
- a securing mechanism securing the interlocking mechanism of said first panel and said second panel together;
- and
- at least one additional panel having an inside face and an outside face and positioned adjacent a horizontal edge of said first panel, with one of said inside face and said outside face of said additional panel overlapping and contacting a corresponding one of said inside face and said outside face of said first panel and including a positioning mechanism positioning said at least one additional panel with respect to said first panel;
- wherein at least the first and second panels are securely interlock with one another for resisting the passing of bullets therethrough.

A modular bullet resistant sentry station comprising:
- at least one first bullet resistant panel having an inside face and an outside face with a portion of an interlocking mechanism provided on said inside face, said first bullet resistant panel being formed of a bullet resistant material;
- and
- at least one second bullet resistant panel having an inside face and an outside face with a corresponding portion of an interlocking mechanism provided on said inside face, said second bullet resistant panel being formed of a bullet resistant material;
- wherein edges of said first and second panels overlap and are securely interlocked by way of the respective interlocking mechanisms provided on the inside face of the respective first and second bullet resistant panels, and the modular sentry station comprising the panels is self supporting and resistant to the passing of bullets therethrough.

A method of assembling a modular sentry station comprising:
- securing a first panel to a second panel in a substantially V-shaped overlapping configuration, each of said first and second panels having an inside face and an outside face;
- positioning a third panel adjacent to and overlapping a horizontal edge of said first panel, said third panel extending in substantially the same direction as said first panel and having an inside face in contact with said outside face of said first panel;
- positioning a fourth panel adjacent to and overlapping a horizontal edge of said second panel and a vertical edge of said third panel and having an inside face in contact with said outside face of said second panel;
- wherein the four panels create a substantially uniform V-shaped barrier, and allowing repeated assembly and disassembly of the sentry station such that when assembled, the modular sentry station resists the passing of bullets therethrough.
