1. A barrier for placement on a supporting surface, the barrier comprising:
- a freestanding base assembly comprising a front wall extending in a substantially upward direction relative to the supporting surface, the front wall having an upper edge remote from the supporting surface;
a bracket mechanically coupled to the front wall and comprising a first channel, the first channel positioned below the upper edge of the front walla side channel formed at an angle relative to the first channel and extending upward beyond the upper edge of the front wall; and
an upper wall comprising at least a portion that is substantially transparent and ballistic resistant, the upper wall having a lower edge, at least a portion of the lower edge received in the first channel and a second portion of the upper wall received in the side channel,wherein the upper wall extends upward from the first channel, the lower edge of the upper wall is positioned below the upper edge of the front wall, and a portion of the upper wall overlaps with the front wall, andfurther wherein the upper wall is movable relative to the first channel and removable from the base assembly by movement of the upper wall away from the first channel.

Abstract
A barrier comprising a base unit composed of a bullet resistant material and a transparent upper wall removably interconnected to the base unit and composed of a bullet resistant material. The base unit includes a front wall and two side walls extending from the front wall to provide protection to the front and sides of a person standing behind the barrier. A series of casters, preferably locking casters, are attached to the bottom edges of the side walls, and a pair of handles connected to each of the side walls permitting the barrier to be conveniently transported from one site to another.
