But he would be alive with a chance of court victory, the clerk would be alive, and both of those cretins would not. That is the optimal outcome. Running from the problem would mean the clerk would just get murdered.
Obviously it's preferable to not being armed and prepared to defend yourself. But the clear best solution is to avoid them.
If you avoid a problem, it persists. People with a strong sense of civic duty should be prepared to resolve problems like that. Permanently.
