The blogosphere loves Jeanne Assam, a brave woman who gives new meaning to the phrase, "You shoot like a girl!"

Assam saved countless people at New Life Church in Colorado Springs on Sunday when she shot and killed gunman Matthew Murray--with her own concealed pistol. Murray had killed two people at a missionary center in Arvada, Colorado, hours before he arrived at New Life. He then killed two people and injured others at New Life before Assam killed him. ABC News reports:

"I saw him coming through the doors" and took cover, Assam said. "I came out of cover and identified myself and engaged him and took him down."

More from the Denver Post: "'She just started walking toward the gunman firing the whole way," said [Vietnam vet Larry] Bourbonnais, who was shot in the arm. "She was just yelling 'Surrender,' walking and shooting the whole time.'"

Of course conservative bloggers love her!

Jimbo at Blackfive calls Assam "magnificent" and says, "A tortured soul now knows whether Hell exists, or not, and he was stopped before he fired the 1,000 rounds he was carrying. You even have to wonder if he was trying to get killed, because he shot at her."

Instapundit rounds up the commentary and adds, "it's more evidence that people don't stop killers, people with guns do."

Captain Ed says this is evidence that concealed weapons aren't so bad:

Murray didn't show up to shoot a couple of people and call it a day. Two handguns, an assault rifle, and over a thousand rounds of ammunition would have equaled a church full of corpses had Assam and others not been able to defend themselves and their fellow parishioners…After the Virginia Tech shooting, people asked whether a CCL holder could have made a difference once the shooting started. Jeanne Assam answered that question on Sunday.

This story makes it clear that guns aren't bad (deranged killers are bad), and guns in the right hands can save innocent lives. It also makes me want to take a trip to a shooting range. Every girl (and guy) should know how to shoot like Jeanne Assam!
