Basically, the husband goes to the wife's work and argues with her, the argument gets taken outside. He has a .22, she gets it away, and empties it into the ground. Then help arrived.
I think we can take a few things away from this story.
1) Just because he has the drop on you doesn't mean he is going to win, even if he is more armed.
2) Similarly, just because you pull a gun on a BG doesn't mean you've automatically defended yourself. It is easily possible for him to get it away from you, and he won't empty it into the ground.
3) Learning self defense and disarming techniques isn't a bad idea.
4) Knowing how to safely secure the firearm is a great idea (although we on this thread, being more familiar with firearms, already know how).
Below is one of the comments, which I agreed with:
Hence why I think everyone should know the basics of firearms safety, including the basic rules, how to clear one, and how to safely handle (not even fire) one.

"She fired nine rounds into the ground to get the bullets out of the gun..."
...well, that's one way to empty a gun and make it safe. I would strongly suggest to her that she take a gun safety class and learn how to properly empty a firearm...and while she is at it, she should get her concealed carry permit and blow this guy away the next time he does anything remotely close to this.
With the limited knowledge that she has, she handled the situation very, and thanks to her quick thinking, she did what she had to do...saving her life and perhaps the lives of others. Great job on her part. I'm glad she is okay.
