74-year-old N.C. state senator shoots, wounds intruder at his home

TABOR CITY, N.C. — A sheriff says a North Carolina state senator shot one of two intruders at his home and hospital officials say the man is in fair condition.

Multiple media outlets reported that Columbus County Sheriff Chris Batten said that 74-year-old Sen. R.C. Soles of Tabor City shot Kyle Blackburn late Sunday afternoon.

A spokeswoman at Loris Community Hospital in South Carolina said Monday that Blackburn was in fair condition.

Batten says the shooting occurred when two men went to the senator’s house and tried to kick in his front door. No charges have been filed.

The sheriff’s office said the State Bureau of Investigation was handling the case. A call to an agency spokeswoman was not immediately returned. There was no answer at a number listed for Soles’ home.

The Democrat has been in the Senate 32 years.



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."

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. Also, they believe they deserve better pensions and better health care.
 
This is really not that unusual. You have to understand their philosophy. They don't want you to carry, but they have no problems having weapons. If I'm not mistaken, Barbie Boxer used to carry a handgun. Sarah Brady was guilty of a straw purchase, per Delaware law, a few years ago when she purchase a rifle for her kid.

John Connolly, one of the biggest anti-handgunners in the US House has a wife who has threatened people with her handgun, which she has a concealed permit for in MI. (I might add, she is waiting sentencing in a bribery charge too.)

So, like Sean Penn who says the 2nd amendment is bull, but has a permit in CA, they don't care about you, they only care about themselves.
 
The proper description was given, "hypocritical ". There goes a guy with integrity and conviction!:rolleyes:
 
Not sure about Boxer, but it's pretty well known that Feinstein had a permit and carried within S.F. city limits.
 
With all the gas Chuck Schumer blows, its probably prudent on his part to carry and have that protection at tax payer expense

What a great guy, he owns and uses guns. He just thinks I shouldn't be allowed to own any. :fire:
 
Wow! Next time when they preach their anti-gun agenda they should also mention that they themselves own guns too! Hypocrites! Stuff like this should make headline news
