Never attempt to rob a gun store because the owners surely know how to use the weapon they're selling.

That was the lesson four men learned on Friday when they tried to hold-up the She's A Pistol store in Shawnee, Kansas. The owners, husband and wife team John and Rebecca Bieker, did not hesitate to fire at the four men.

Three of the hold-uppers were wounded in the exchange of fire, but John, 44, died even if he was rushed to a hospital, said Major Dan Tennis of the Shawnee Police Department, reports Reuters.

Rebecca was punched and sustained minor injuries. Two of the suspects are in critical condition in the hospital and being guarded.

The other two - including the one who fled unharmed - were found on the porch of a house near the shop and surrendered to authorities.

The shop, according to its website, is a "woman-owned personal protection and self-defense training, services, and supply company."

Rebecca, apparently, practices what she preaches as she had only minor injuries on her face and other parts of the body because she was beaten up by the suspects but was not shot, according to Dan Ferguson, spokesperson for the Shawnee Police
