>From my Grimoire2:

Similar to the physical barrier spell, the bullet barrier spell
provides protection against bullets and other ballistic weapons.

So, in order for the bullet to be ballistic it must be fired (Shadowrun's
definition of ballistic seems to be a projectile moving at a velocity just
under the speed of sound, or faster). Thrown weapons and arrows are not
considered ballistic. Your barrier won't stop bullets from being carried
in.

What you might want to try doing is set up some kind of detection spell,
Quicken it, and Anchor an alarm or physical barrier to it to stop anyone
from trying to get in with a loaded weapon.
