“He cleared the jam and kept firing.
Good man. Kept his head.”
Cool under pressure. It’s amazing that at that age he was able to do that. Many an older hunter wouldn’t be able to do the same. You can tell the teens were familiar with their firearms and were not just “once a year” hunters. We get a lot of those in my county with their brand new hunting gear (it still smells of Wal-mart and makes noise as they move) and one box of ammo that they purchased at the same time.
Equally true of Concealed Carry.
If you are going to carry you need to do Jam Clearing drills.
And one thing that is not common knowledge is that hand guns with large capacity mags have a more likely chance of jams. The heavy springs necessary for those 13+ capacities make jams more common.
You have to make clearing jams second nature.
You don’t want a jam on your second shot to cost you your life.
