    Long time Anti-Gun Advocate State Senator R.C. Soles, 74, shot one of two intruders at his home just outside Tabor City, N.C. about 5 p.m. Sunday, the prosecutor for the politician's home county said.

    The intruder, 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 andBrunswick 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."


    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.

    That happened in 2011. And is typical for liberals to behave in such a manner, laws do not apply to them, they apply to the commoners.

    this begs the real question ...what has he spouted politically and voted since this hypocritical incident on his part...one would have expected him to have tried to talk down the perp or arranged special funding so this wayward soul could live in the liberal style without engaging in these little aberrations.....

    I live in NC and I can tell you what POS that guy is. The guy he shot had been a client of his at one time(Soles is a lawyer scumbag). Soles got indited for assault with a deadly weapon after this happened. He plead guilty and was fined, it was not much of a fine either.

    Now a bunch of people have come forward and accused him of sexually abusing them................wait for it...................all of them are male. The guy he shot was one of them too.

    So that makes him a hypocritical, libtard, fruit, rapist lawyer[:0] He needs to go in the wood chipper feet first.

    Of course most of the anti-gun politicians don't need a gun because they have ARMED bodyguards.

    As I recall the courts determined that the senator - who was also an attorney - was being less than truthful about the details surrounding this shooting.

    He ended up being charged and pled guilty to assault with a deadly weapon, then retired from the senate amid a scandal over him reportedly sexually abusing multiple young male legal clients.

    The 22 year old victim of this shooting was one of his former clients. [:0][:D]
