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.



Just wanted to make sure this got all of the notoriety it deserves... :)

Another "interesting" article that also makes some VERY good points....

Washington DC - -(Ammoland.com)- When former Gov. and current Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) changed positions on the assault weapons ban post-Connecticut school shooting, he justified the change by saying, “I don’t know anyone that needs 30 rounds in a clip to go hunting.”

He also said that he doesn’t know “anyone in the sporting or hunting arena that goes out with an assault rifle.”

Shortly after these statements, pictures of then-Gov. Manchin shooting an AR-15 with a 15 to 20 round clip, red dot sight, flash light, and a collapsible stock were sent to Breitbart News.

They’re good pictures. The problem is, they’re pictures of hypocrite — pictures of yet another politician who’s rule appears to be “do as I say, not as I do.”

Here are some other quick points:

Firstly, Manchin makes a massive error in judging guns and gun-accessories based on their relation to hunting. Our Founding Fathers did not seek to protect the right to keep and bear arms so we could hunt. Rather, they put the 2nd Amendment in place to shield our right to have and use firearms so we could defend our lives and our property, and so we could repel a tyranny. To reduce 2nd Amendment rights to hunting purposes is as dangerous as it is baseless.

Secondly, as I said during a guest spot on America’s Radio News Network on Monday, a 30 round clip is actually a very viable clip for home defense. To understand this, just imagine three armed men kicking in the front door of your house while you’re eating dinner with your family. All three are armed with guns that hold 7 to 10 rounds apiece, so you’re up against 21 to 30 rounds. At that point, which clip do you want in your AR-15? A 10 round, a 20, or a 30?

Any Senator or House Rep that says a hunter does not need an assault weapon to hunt should be impeached. The second ammendment has nothing to do with hunting or home defense.

That's the main point, but it is also false to fact, which leads me to believe that he is either a liar or incurably stupid.

Who does this joker think he is to tell me that I can't use an AR to hunt? I've got friends that use 15s for turkey and deer, and we shoot 10s for deer and hogs. I very much dislike the idea of being discriminated against because of my choice of firearm.

First, you should really state the source of the original article. Second, in defense of the former senator, the NRA doesn't rate him that way.

Also, the referenced shooting took place in 2009. The guy also stepped down at the end of 2009. Even if he was anti-gun, he doesn't directly affect our rights any more.

Actually Soles was a senator until 2011. He decided not to run for reelection in 2009( for the 2010 election) and stayed until his term ran out in 2011. Some say he didn't run because of allegations that he sexually abused troubled teens .

The shooting happened on December 30, 2009. Soles was indicted on charges of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury on 7 January 2010. He pleaded guilty in 2010 to assault with a deadly weapon and was fined $1,000.
