Don't bring a knife to a gun fight

I saw this story on the news but didn't catch the fatal (and thus qualifying) nature of the response.

The man went behind the counter and threw the cash register on the floor to break it, Small said, then began collecting the money scattered on the floor. He then put the knife to the woman's chest, Small said, and she sprang into action.

She drew a gun and fired a shot into the man's chest...The man was pronounced dead shortly afterward

The shop proprietor is a former LEO and former Secret Service, but it appears Pennsylvania is shall issue and thus she wasn't using any special "only-one" privilege to carry at work, thus it qualifies.

In this case the bad guy depended on encountering a unarmed cashier and expected no resistance.

Bad assessment, you lose.
