late 80s Grand Am - under seat question

[1980e12mpl]

Hello all:
I am an attorney and I am working on a case and in the case, a person testifies that it is easily possible for the front seat passenger of a late 1980s grand am to slide a handgun under the front passenger seat and into the rear right footwell. Can anyone tell me how hard it would be to perform such a feat? are there obstructions? I believe it was not a powered seat. THANKS!

EDIT:
Actually it is a 1980 Grand Am. Dont know if that changes anything dramatically.

Ok. Since no one seems to know the answer, how about some thoughts on where to go for the answer. ??

I would say inspect the car, or a like model, and see for yourself if this is possible. Most of us don't just have one of these nearby to take a look at. It would be the same as a 1980 Olds Omega.

these were all 2 doors i think back then. and unless their arms is 8 ft long i doubt it could be stuck back there from the front pass. seat. its possible it might slide to the back but i doubt it would get over the hump where the back seat is mounted. plus to much in the way, they'd have to work it around the backseat along the body/window but still its pretty much sealed to the trunk other than a few holes. I'll see if i can find some pics
