I would like to see what this old geezer would of done without his gun.
What a hypocrite! All the while he is packing heat.The dirty S.O.B.
Perfect example of the need for our 2nd amendment rights!
State Senator R.C. Soles (D - NC)
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.

State Sen. R.C. Soles, the state's longest-serving legislator, was indicted Thursday on a felony charge of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious bodily injury.
The Attorney General's Office presented a bill of indictment to a Columbus County grand jury. The charge carries a possible sentence of 15 to 31 months in prison.

We are certainly disappointed, Soles' attorney Joe Cheshire said Thursday. We believe what happened at his house that evening was the result of an attack on his home and that he was defending himself.
Cheshire said when Soles will booked and processed through the system has not yet been decided.
I'm saddened for him. I'm saddened for the county, and I'm saddened for the state of North Carolina, Tabor City Police Chief Donald Dowless said. It's just a bad day for him and the county and the state of North Carolina.
Columbus County residents and officials were curious about the grand jury's decision.
Outside the Columbus County Courthouse in Whiteville, one man shouted from his car at reporters, Was he indicted?
