His character might as well have walked in waving his arms with a big bulls-eye on his forehead. I realize he simply didn't think Joe had the guts, but what did he honestly hope to accomplish? One last performance before he lost the girl? No sane man would have gone that far.

You don't walk in to the apartment of your romantic rival who loathes you, toss a loaded revolver on the table in front of him, then step back and laugh at him for what a low-IQ loser he is. Not if you don't expect to get shot.
