So, what did the prospective sheriff do? He hired off duty cops to work the store. All the clerks carried open legally. Was never held up.

Don't understand your point. Clerks carrying guns prevented sniper attacks on liquor stores? How oftern were sniper attacks on liquor stores occuring before the clerks started carrying guns? Remember, we were talking about sniper attacks here. Not liquor store hold ups.
