How do I remove the driver's side A-pillar?

I can't seem to get it to pop off. I have pulled somewhat hard btu it seems to be really fastened where the plastic SRS Airbag piece is located. I thought it would just be fastened with plastic clips like the rest of the trim pieces in the car but it is not coming off easily and I do not want to force it since it is in the area of the airbag which also makes me a little nervous.
