According to the York Dispatch, 63-year-old Frank Shaffer, of Red Lion, pulled a gun on a trucker after each believed the other cut him off in 2006.
Charges against Shaffer were dropped when the trucker didn't show at Shaffer's preliminary hearing.
The York County sheriff revoked Shaffer's permit, but a judge ordered it be reinstated.
Shaffer, a real estate appraiser, had said he needed a weapon for protection while working in dangerous neighborhoods.
Shaffer was killed Tuesday in Jefferson County. A hunter was also shot. Police are investigating.

When I lived in Colorado, I often chased people off my land and that of the neighboring state lands that had no hunting. Hunters were disrespectful and out there they had the 'make my day ' law. If you asked them to leave and they didn't, you have the right to shoot them. Yes, that's right, it's held up in court too. Get out of my house, get off my land or else. NO other reason but you better have witnesses.
Maybe this will teach hunters and those prospecting their hunting land to watch for signs and know where you are on the lay of the land. Stay off private property!
Although I carry a gun, I was always told don't pull it unless you plan on shooting. And you better be first.
