    Pro Tip:

    If you ever find yourself in the position of having a pistol shoved in your face and you cannot safely escape, it is possible to disarm your assailant.

    Quickly grab the wrist or forearm of the hand holding the weapon with one hand and grab the weapon’s muzzle with your other hand. While directing the weapon away from your body, push down on the muzzle like a lever. Your assailant will not be able to maintain their grip on the weapon. Be prepared for it to discharge because it probably will. If you decide to attempt this maneuver, DO NOT hesitate or you will probably get shot.

      What I do in a situation like this is reach slowly to my pocket, pretending I’m going to grab my wallet but instead I take out the remote detonator that triggers the bomb I implanted in my attackers ass 3 months earlier. Look on their faces: priceless.

      2nd pro tip:

      If you’ve never attempted this before, when someone is pointing a gun at you is probably the incorrect time to try it out

          Nah if someone is pointing a gun at me, i start acting deranged. Threaten their family, tell them im going to shit in my hand and throw it at them, etc. Getting shot is way cheaper than my monthly therapy bill.
