Self-defense Is Legal in South Carolina

But then I thought it was. (Another post that got stuck in my drafts folder...) No charges filed after fatal Upstate shooting ruled self defense

Investigators discovered that the shooting happened after a man was behaving in a threatening manner towards the resident of the home. The suspect, David Dale Arrington was allegedly threatening the resident with a weapon.

The incident took place on Monday, 16 October.

Gray Court, South Carolina is about 70 miles northeast of Columbia.

Police responded, and the guy who got shot was taken to a local hospital, but he did not survive his injuries.

Investigators say the resident feared for his life and fired in self-defense.

That is fairly fast for such a determination to be made. Some jurisdictions, ones that I believe hate self-defense, can take many months to make such a call.

Self-defense is a human-right, and it appears to be your legal right in South Carolina.
