Now this should become headline news ...



Anti-Gun Senator Shoots Intruder



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.

Yeah, it seems like a case of one crook shooting another.

Injuries reported to be not life-threatening? If I shoot an intruder it's gonna be center-of-mass, also known as the "lethal; triangle". Even with a .22 LR you aare going to need a doctor and a hospital STAT.

So to me the evidence points to the Senator winging a fleeing kid who was pulling some kind of prank. A real BG would have probably taken the good Senator's gun and put it where the sun don't shine. And rthen pulled the trigger sev eral times, producing life-threatening wounds.

Anyone remember Carl Rowan, the dyspeptic and doctrinaire liberal-schmiberal columnist for the Washington Post? Hediscovered a couple teenage boys skinny-dipping in his pool in Georgetown one summer night, and chased after them with his nephew's FBI issue .357. He fired on them as they were fleeing over the fence, wounding one boy (I met him several years later, he showed me the scar) in the leg. (The boy he wounded told me : "I couldn't believe it! I was running AWAY! And I was NAKED! And he shot me!")

What happened to Rowan under DC law for his unauthorized, unjustified, irresponsible use of a firearm he was not supposed to have?

Nothin'
