Student of the Gun Radio show

Summary: A young woman was feeding her baby when she was forced into a horrifying position; fight off armed home invaders and protect her child. We tip our hats to this woman and acknowledge her courage. There are many lessons to be learned. Our SWAT Fuel Warrior of the Week wants to talk about less-than-lethal force. Professor Paul provides a mental checklist for you to consider. Be sure to tune in to learn more about this mental checklist. As a bonus we let you listen to the rambling idiocy of a lunatic mind.

Bunce met the home invaders head-on in a gun battle, driving them from her home. Even though she took two hits in the exchange of gunfire, she managed to climb back up the stairs and check on her son before she dialed 911 and began taking care of her wounds before the ambulance arrived: Bunce met the intruders at her bedroom door and when the men opened fire on her in the stairwell area, she fired back, her husband said. “I think it was a shock to the intruders just as much as it was to her,” said Paul Bunce, her husband. Paul told Channel 9 his wife is a combat medic with the National Guard. He believes her training allowed her to stay mentally focused and calm during what was a fight for her life. “They’ve got a long journey,” said one neighbor outside the Bunce family’s home. Since the shooting, neighbors have embraced the family. Many stopped by the house and offered their thoughts and prayers for a mother who risked it all to protect her own. Family members said Semantha will need at least one more surgery. I’m terrified to think of what these violent criminals might have done to this young mother and her child if she had not been able to defend herself or the skills to start treating her injuries. The young combat medic will likely go back into surgery tomorrow for an abdominal wound suffered in the gunfight. One of her fellow soldiers has set up a GoFundMe in hopes of helping pay Semantha’s medical bills. Charlotte-Mecklenburg have added extra patrols to the neighborhood, which had had three break-ins in recent months. They are pressing forward with their investigation into the home invasion and shooting, and seem confident that they have enough evidence to make an arrest."
