Gun disarming techniques by Sammy Franco. Sammy Francos’s Under The Gun is a one-of-a kind self defense DVD that will provide you with the knowledge, skills and attitude necessary to defeat a gunman who is about to blow you away! It is also worth mentioning that several well know self-defense instructors have stated they would not attempt to disarm a gunman. This “passive” mentality can be very dangerous because there is an increasing trend for robbers and gangbangers to shoot their victims even if they do comply. Yes, in some cases, compliance can get you killed! Being held up at gunpoint is not a helpless situation. You can defeat the gunman! There is no escaping the fact that we live in a gun culture and gun-disarming skills should be part of every serious self-defense curriculum. The sad fact is that 99% of the gun disarming techniques taught in commercial self-defense schools will get you killed. Do not risk your life on these grossly deficient tactics and techniques. When it comes to disarming a gunman, you only get one chance!
