In Colorado Springs a 7-11 store was held up & robbed by a masked man brandishing what store clerks identified as a Klingon Bat’leth sword.

The story reports that after successfully robbing the first store,

A half hour later, police received a call from a 7-Eleven at 2407 N. Union Blvd., where a man matching the previous description entered the store with a similar weapon. He also demanded money from the store clerk. The clerk refused and the robber ran off.

Presumably the clerk figured that, armed with a big pointy sword or not, he could probably take down a Star Trek nerd.
