69-Year-Old Dies After Attacking Legally Armed Man in Sharon, SC
Brandon Curtis
SHARON, SC— A deadly encounter outside a Dollar General store in Sharon, South Carolina, has left a community shaken after a local man was shot and killed during what authorities have confirmed was a self-defense incident.According to the York County Sheriff’s Office, the confrontation took place last Thursday, involving 69-year-old Joseph Lewis and a 25-year-old man who was legally carrying a concealed firearm. Investigators say Lewis confronted the younger man, allegedly threatened him, and then punched him. The driver, fearing for his safety, responded by shooting Lewis. Lewis later died at the hospital.
While there are rumors that the dispute began over Lewis’s dog, the sheriff’s office has not confirmed the cause of the argument. No additional details have been released as the investigation remains closed without charges being filed.
The local solicitor’s office determined the shooting was a clear case of self-defense. The driver was in lawful possession of the firearm and legally permitted to carry it under South Carolina law.
In South Carolina, individuals who legally carry concealed firearms are protected under the state’s “Stand Your Ground” law, which allows the use of deadly force if they reasonably believe they are in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm. That appears to be the basis for the solicitor’s ruling in this case.

Mr Lewis must’a run out’ta his meds or had a suicide wish. I’d ask him, “WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!” , but it’s a little late for that now.
As for that young Ms Thang, she’s showing all the right curves in all the right places. And she has a pistol in the right place, too. Sadly, it ain’t MY pistol. (le sigh…..)
Curious if we’re going to have a theme of truck shotguns after last weeks theme of truck guns.
Don’t know what the late Lewis was angry about concerning his dog, if that was the cause of the encounter, but losing his temper like that was his last mistake.
