74-year-old N.C. state senator shoots, wounds intruder at his home | Richmond Times-Dispatch
Long time Anti-Gun Advocate State Senator R.C. Soles, 74, shot one of two intruders at his home just outsideTabor City, N.C. about 5 p.m. Sunday, the prosecutor for the politician's home county said.
The victim, Kyle Blackburn, was taken to a South Carolina hospital, but the injuries were not reported to be life-threatening, according to Rex Gore, district attorney for Columbus, Bladen and Brunswick counties.
The State Bureau of Investigation and Columbus County Sheriff's Department are investigating the shooting, Gore said. Soles, who was not arrested, declined to discuss the incident Sunday evening.
"I am not in a position to talk to you," Soles said by telephone. "I'm right in the middle of an investigation."
Soles, a top-ranking Democrat and the longest-serving member of the legislature, already was the subject of an SBI investigation over sexual misconduct allegations with former male clients. (FHW - Now, that sounds more like a liberal to me).
The Senator, who has made a career of being against gun ownership for the general public, didn't hesitate to defend himself with his own gun when he believed he was in immediate danger and he was the victim.
In typical hypocritical liberal fashion, the "Do As I Say And Not As I Do" Anti-Gun Activist Lawmaker picked up his gun and took action in what apparently was a self-defense shooting. Why hypocritical you may ask? It is because his long legislative record shows that the actions that he took to protect his family, his own response to a dangerous life threatening situation, are actions that he feels ordinary citizens should not have if they were faced with an identical situation.
It has prompted some to ask if the Senator believes his life and personal safety is more valuable than yours or mine. But, this is to be expected from those who believe they can run our lives, raise our kids, and protect our families better than we can.

It just figures...
You gotta wonder how they can face their Constituents with such an obvious hypocrisy at work.
I only wish there were some way to get their noses to actually grow when they spout their crap. Now that'd be funny!! . . .

You can give peace a chance alright..
I'll seek cover in case it goes badly..
Doubt it, as far left as this bozo was, he'll probably brush it off and attempt to make the public believe that it only happened to him and won't happen again. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if he turns things around and blames gun owners or the gun industry for the incident.

Most anti gunners are really pro gun. Pro gun for themselves but anti for the sheeple.

Sad but I gotta say it... YOU”RE RIGHT ON!!
It kills me to think we voted for these (lots of adjectives coming to mind but none of them are nice to say or type out loud!!)…people? Maybe next time the intruder will get him... (Sorry, did that slip out there, not nice, bad thoughts)...![]()

Regardless of the spin that he puts on this, it is priceless! Whenever the liberals start spouting off on gun control, this will be able to serve as a gentle reminder that they have their heads up their patootie. It doesn't get much better than this.
