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 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.

Are you sure they were "intruders" and not his wife's lovers?
R. Soles? That sounds about right.
