These 2 guys from philly have survived and traveled a lot, they have most likely seen a lot, and survived a lot and have a decently good grasp of surviving in zombie world. They obviously have some sort of supplies as they've made it this far, even though they may be running thin. They are in a town and could presumably scavenge around for food / water / supplies, the group we are following doesn't seem to be having too much trouble with that. They are going to risk death to go to this wonderful farm they know very little about, except that there are other people there....he's planning on shooting rick and then going back to the farm, think they are going to be accepted with open arms? This risk/reward just isn't there... I know it's a TV show, but that scene was the only high point of the episode for me. I don't even want to get into what Lori was doing, that was pathetic writing. And once again the walking dead didn't have any walkers... for as scared as they are of these things being around every corner they don't show up much in the show.

There are a lot of assumptions built up in all of that.

We really don't know much of anything about Dave and Tony. Maybe Dave thought if they killed Rick, the only one who was openly armed and appeared to be a threat, that the old drunk and the young, terrified looking guy would fold like a house of cards. You take down the other group's "alpha male", sweep into the farm, take what you need/want and move on. Perhaps that's how they've rolled since living in Philly. Plan just backfired here because Rick was faster.

That scene was great and believable.
