Instructions
1
Allow your partner to point a fake pistol, a water gun is best, through the rolled down car window level with but not actually touching the center of the face. This is a good time to stay calm giving the attacker the sense you are complying with any spoken or unspoken obligations.
2
Grab your partner's weapon along the barrel pushing down with all your force so that the aim of the gun is now downwards and you are out of the line of fire. The move must be fast and powerful in a real attack to put the attacker of their guard.
3
Hold the attacker's hand and gun flat as possible against the dashboard behind the front steering wheel. This is where the gun should have landed at the end of step 3. Now you are containing the situation until next step.
4
Place your car in drive or turn on and place in drive while still holding the attacker's hand and his gun into the area behind the front windshield and edge of side window. This way the attacker is stuck and you have a little help in the resistance by the corner of the side window.
5
Keep arm holding the weapon straight out in front of you. There should be no release of this pressure throughout previous steps. Maintain the hold as if your life depended on it until you can get away.
6
Drive forward so that attacker's hand will lose all strength and releases the weapon. Keep driving as far away from attack as you need to feel safe.
7
Keep the gun on the floor of the passenger side before taking the gun to the nearest police station and reporting the incident.
