Whats with these idiots in Jersey lately? Never bring a gun to a machete fight. That's a battle you'll lose every time (at least the times where you don't pull the trigger). I say this with absolutely no personal experience but I'm pretty sure I'd be infinitely more scared of a guy wielding a legit machete over the guy with your standard run of the mill 9mm (not hoping to test this just in case anyone gets an ideas).
You know the guy with the 9 mm. He's just your average unoriginal robber/criminal. Forced unwillingly into the life of crime, probably wants to be in the situation as little as the people he's criminalizing. Just go about the standard play set, handover what he's asking for and it'll be over with. Its as normal a routine as going to the bank at this point (and only slighty more of a hassle)
