Houston man killed defending home

[Junior Bonner]

Here's the link. His handgun malfunctioned, getting him killed. Does anyone know what he was using? I don't know if it was a semi or a revolver.

His girlfriend said he got off one shot, then his gun jammed...

My guess is a jam-o-matic from Taurus.

I don't know. I don't know that it was even a semi. But whatever he was using, I don't want one. Everyone needs to know about Fail cases like this, where a specific make of a gun gets a citizen killed.

Every firearm can fail at some point, even the best names. That is why you MUST know the manual of arms for any and all firearms you may have.

Sounds like he did not know what to do when the worse possible thing happened, and it got him killed. It is a shame that this happened, and I feel for his family and friends, but it is a reminder that you must train to where it is second nature.

It was bad. His gun jammed after the first round. With two home invaders shooting him, there was no time for immediate action to clear the stoppage. If it comes out what gun he was using, I will make it a point to never own one.

If any of you were to find out he was using the exact same gun you use for self defense, would you start using a different gun?

No. All my guns work 100% of the time. His gun is not my problem. There is no way to tell what could have caused the malfunction.

And.. movement is life.... if your not shooting you should be moving and vice versa..

Where was his backup gun? How many shots did his girlfriend get off?
