Lucky for the guy with the knife...

...that he was in Illinois...

ELGIN, Ill. — Police in suburban Chicago say a taxi driver who didn't have Mace handy when he was attacked by a knife-wielding passenger instead disarmed the man with a can of aerosol deodorant.

...because of course, if he had been in Texas, he might well have found out that a gun trumps a knife every time.
