    no gun for us but for him is ok

    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.
    We have enough gun control. What we need is idiot control.

    Per Snopes this is not an accurate commentary on the incident. It was in 2009 and yes he did shoot the aforementioned man after an attempt to kick in the door. However, he was not an anti-gun activist and voted pro gun for the most part.

    Considering recent information about those who own Snopes, it is probably a good idea to find independent confirmation of ANYTHING they say on their website.

    Snopes also denies that the recent information you speak of is accurate either...LOL

    Multiple sources confirm Snopes' position. At least in this instance.
