This video demonstrates a dangerous scenario where a criminal attempts to disarm a victim by pinning a striker-fired pistol against them.

Instructor Mike strongly advises against storing firearms in vehicle locations like the sun visor, door pocket, under the leg, seat gap, or glove box due to poor accessibility and security.
