"One of the suspects asked for money the clerk then reached under the counter and grabbed a large knife." said Detective Ketorie Sales. "It looked like a machete-type knife and the suspect then fired several shots inside of the store, one striking one of the clerks."
The men ran out of the store empty-handed with the machete-packing clerk running after them. The store owner says he's fed up and will do what he has to do in order to protect his employees.
"I just bought a gun for my employee to shoot the person if it's left up to them, Also I have some other things to protect," said store owner Dennis Barot.

Amazing! He brought a knife to a gunfight and won!
30-some years ago I lived in a small CO town. A guy took two liquor store clerks into the basement and shot them in the back of the head.
Liquor store owners got together and next day every employee carried a holstered pistol, and there was a short shotgun under every counter.
Last liquor store robbery I’m aware of in that town.

If the knife is big enough, and the gun small enough, it just might work.
machete-type knife
