    It’s much more likely to survive a stabbing than to survive a shooting.

      The loser of a knife fight dies in the street, the winner dies in the hospital.

      I don’t recall the origin of that or whether that’s the exact wording but the general idea at least has stuck with me.

        If you run away from a guy with a knife, you have to outrun the knife-wielder. If you run away from a guy with a gun, you have to outrun the bullet.
