Yes, you can take a hammer to a gunfight, but only once.
[Daily Caller] A Washington State Patrol (WSP) Trooper fatally shot a man armed with a hammer during an altercation Thursday afternoon, according to a statement.

The Trooper was responding just after 4 p.m. to a road rage incident in which the suspect rammed a Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) vehicle on the shoulder of the I-5 northbound near milepost 197, according to the statement from the Snohomish County Multiple Agency Response Team (SMART). The vehicle had a lift that was operating over a slough and carried two contractors, according to the statement.

An altercation broke out between the suspect, the contractors and the Trooper, during which the Trooper shot the suspect, the statement revealed.

One of the contractors sustained non-life-threatening injuries, the statement added.

#2 Probably better off with a nail gun than a hammer. Choosing the right tool for the job, and all that.
