Depending on the situation a couple of things. Is the cartridge "bullit" jammed on ejection or inserting one into the chamber, or is it an already fired round and the shell is jammed on extraction. If the slug/shot is trapped in the bore do as the others said and secure it and get someone to disarm it safely, the pressure in the barrel can build up and cause personal injury or even death. Probably a live cartridge "bullit" is jammed when you were putting a round in the gun or when you were extracting a bullit. This is common in semi autos aka autoloaders that aren't cleaned properly or improper cartridges being used. ALWAYS make sure you are using proper ammo with the gun, on the barrel it will say what gauge the gun is and on the bottom of the bullit it will say too make sure they match. On pump actions if you do not pump it firmly it can jam. On other types it is the extractor or on some side by side actions the extractor can be broke or you have to manually take the shell out. I am guessing its a pump or semi-auto. Sometimes the shells that have been fired will get jammed pretty bad just from not enough force being used to pump it, or a bad batch of ammo. Find someone knowledgeable that can help you, if it is a live cartridge it takes a lot more care to make sure the primer doest get hit depending how and where it is jammed. Without any further information I cannot help you any further. I would say do as the others and go get someone to help you, if it is a case of live round stuck in barrel, call the police. If it is just a cartridge or shell, they probably wont' want to waste their time. If you write back with more info I can help you out further to safely extract a live cartridge or fired shell without damaging the gun. If it jammed after you fired the gun, then it is alot safer and it could be jammed pretty bad so that you might have to take it to a gunsmith. The timing of extraction and loading a new shell could be off too. If it is a live cartridge and there is no one there to help you call the police and they can walk you through it.

I agree! Clear the house, call the police, and explain the situation. Tell them you need an officer to clear the shotgun for you. Then go sit on the porch and wait for them.

Is it jammed with a live round?
Do you have friends there with you? Send them home - secure the weapon in a fashion that does not let the barrel point at anyone.
Contact an adult or some mature person with firearms knowledge to disarm the weapon. Do not move it from where it is secured.

Jamesd..., I'm sure he's not using it on people.
Well, whatever you do, don't peer down the barrel and pull the trigger, JUST IN CASE it suddenly, quickly becomes unstuck.

You should get rid of your shotgun and be nice to people.
