When Clifford initially pursues the murderer with the intent of killing him, the only weapon he has is a lock needle. Since [SPOILERS] Clifford eventually catches up with the murderer and finishes him off with a gun, why did he decide on such a strange and limiting weapon to begin with? Even a knife would have been more reliable and effective.

I assume he wanted to be able to claim self defence or something so he wanted to use an improvised weapon rather than a clearly offensive one. a plan which might have had a better chance if he hadn't told a cop about it beforehand (old friend or not)
still, when the husband pulls out a shotgun I couldn't help laughing at the idea that an ex-cop turned private investigator in pursuit of a killer didn't seem to have a gun (of course it later turned out he did) and yet this guy had a bloody shotgun!"I don't care, I'm still free. You can't take the sky from me"
