You can have an outward opening door with the hinges on the inside. All commercial doors are required by code to open out and the hinges are inside. Your kitchen cabinets open out with hinges on the inside. With the open out door it is almost impossible to kick open the door from the outside and it is easier to reinforce the door frame with the outward opening door.
