On New Year’s Eve, one of the city’s most beloved stores shut its doors for the last time.
After more than four years in the community, She’s A Pistol LLC closed for business, leaving behind a heartbroken community of devoted customers and supporters.
The reason behind the store’s closure is a startling reminder of reality’s darkest challenges.
Tremendous legal expenses, mounted up from tragic circumstances, forced owner Becky Bieker to make the hardest decision of her life.
In January 2015, four young men attempted to rob She’s A Pistol at gunpoint. During a subsequent shootout, Bieker’s husband, Jon, was shot and killed. |

| Criminals killed the business after the wife continued to try and keep going in spite of losing her husband. Liability laws that favor the criminals in a gun defense situation are an atrocity and should be the focus and of every civic minded patriot. Shame on KS lawmakers. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
