The Andy Griffith Show: Aunt Bee Takes a Job (1965)
Season 6, Episode 13
5/10
Have Gun, Will Fire
13 June 2007
Warning: Spoilers
When a friend of hers gets a job, Aunt Bee decides she'd like to do some part time work as well. She applies to a new print shop in town and much to everyone's surprise, she gets the job. Only it turns out that the printers are actually counterfeiters, using the print shop as a front. When eventually they are found out, Bee is once again out of a job.

While the episode seems a bit forced and a bit obvious today, it is pretty typical of the color episodes of the series with one HUGE exception: while the counterfeiters are trying to make their escape, Andy pulls Warren's gun from his holster and with marksman-like skill, stops them dead in their tracks--proving that even though he was the "Sheriff without a gun", he did know how to use one. I think this may be the last time or one of the last times on the series Andy Taylor actually fired a weapon in the act of performing his duties.
