Episode 69 with Amanda Suffecool

Rob- Introduction- I’m Rob Morse and welcome to episode 69 of Self-Defense Gun Stories.  This podcast is for people who think they might want a firearm.. and those who already have one.  We’re joined this week by self-defense instructor Amanda Suffecool.

Hi, Amanda.  How have you been?

Amanda- Hi, Rob.  This is my first visit to Self-Defense Gun Stories.

Rob- Jenna Meek stepped away from the show.  I appreciate her giving us so much attention for as long as she did.  I’m glad you can join us.

Amanda- firearms instructor, eye on the target, realize FAC, NRA fashion show.  Fashion show manual.  Viceland video of the fashion show.

Amanda- Hi to our new listeners, and welcome back to our regular listeners. We report and analyze three examples of armed civilian defense.  We hope you use these reports as part of your exercise program.. to use your imagination today so you can defend the people you care about tomorrow.  Please leave us a message on our facebook page with your questions or comments.

Amanda- Our first story took place last week in Bloomfield, Kentucky.

Rob- First story-  Are you armed at home?  

You’re asleep in your bed.  Your dog starts barking in the middle of the night.  Moments later, your wife is screaming.  You get up, grab your gun, and follow the dog to your daughter’s room.  Your daughter is at a sleepover, but you open the door anyway.  There, you find a 19 year old boy standing in her room.  He raises his hands and surrenders.  The window is open where the intruder broke in.  Your wife calls police.  You hold the intruder at gunpoint.

Amanda- Good job for not shooting.  Finger off the trigger.  

Rob- The news report said it took 20 minutes for the police to arrive.

Amanda-  Flashlight.    Lighting of   some sort.

Rob- Do you train your students to hold someone at gunpoint?

Amanda- Our second story happened last week in Brooklyn, New York.

Rob- Second story- Are you armed at work in the middle of the day?

You work at a gun store.  Another customer walks in the shop at about 11 in the morning.  He asks to see a gun.  You look down and open the display case.  That is when he sprays you in the face with pepper spray.  You step back.  The robber smashed the case top and grabs two guns.  You draw your gun and shoot him.  He runs.

Police find the two stolen guns on the floor..along with a trail of blood.

Amanda- Not sure of the laws in New York, but this is an interesting one.  Using your gun to defend property?  Do you know what the rules are for gun shop owners?

 

Amanda- Our third story happened last week in Tarpon springs, Florida.

Rob-  Third Story-  Are you armed at home during the night?

You hear shouts from an apartment next door.  Then you hear screams.  You grab your gun and look through the peep hole.  Your neighbor, Susan Bass, is screaming at a man to get out of her apartment, and the man is dressed in his underwear and attacking her.  You open the door and tell the man to stop.  He lunges at you.  You shoot him once in the leg.  That doesn’t stop him. You retreat to your apartment and he follows you.  You grab your 3 year old and retreat to the bathroom.  The intruder pushes the door open and you fight him off.

Police arrive and taze the attacker.  That doesn’t stop.  They wrestle him to the ground and handcuff him.  You, your neighbor, your daugher, and the drugged up intruder are taken to the hospital.

Amanda- Scary –  I am not sure, If I were the one in this situation that i would not have shot a second or a third time.    When he charges into my apartment and when he charges the bathroom door.
