-What would you do in a “life and death” situation when your handgun jams? If you have no formalized training then to do what this woman did, which is pray for a miracle. This is a pathetic story. I encourage everyone to enroll in a quality firearms course, and I don’t mean a simple one day “safety ” course. I”m talking about a 2-4 day course that actually teaches you how to shoot. A “safety” course simply teaches you how to not accidentally shoot yourself or a loved one. A quality 2-4 day handgun course will teach you safety plus proper grip, stance, sight picture, sight alignment, trigger control, and follow-through. In addition it will teach you emergency reloads, tactical reloads and how to clear a type 1, type 2, and type 3 malfunction (jams).
If you live in Southern California I encourage you to look at some of the courses offered by quality instructors on the right hand side of this page.

“A suspected burglar broke into a single mother’s home in Indianapolis early Monday morning. The family woke up to the sound of breaking glass.
The mother, prepared to protect her two kids, armed herself and confronted the suspect. She addressed the man from the top of the stairs, but carefully made her way downstairs.
“I yelled down the stairs, ‘Who’s down there?’ He told me, ‘The police.’ As I ran down the steps… I was going to shoot my gun,” the mom, identified as Marta, told WTHR-TV.

It was at this point that fate worked in favor of the burglary suspect.
Marta claimed she took aim and attempted to fire her gun — but it jammed. The unfired bullets ended up spilling from the chamber and the suspect ran away with the woman’s flat-screen TV in his hands.”
