I can’t imagine a better example of a kill or be killed situation. Crazed masked guy swinging a hatchet pretty much tops the list. The clerk was incredibly lucky that he was only hit by a glancing blow. He had a nasty looking wound on his stomach but it didn’t seem very deep.

Guns don’t kill people, axes… oh…

When all you have is an axe every problem looks like a tree.
