Democrat Anti-Gun Senator shoots invader

[Irving]

My girl sent me this email about a Democrat Senator shooting an intruder. Thought I'd pass it along.

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

Senator? Sorry, I didn't see it, it looks like the end of the story got cut off. I didn't know that Democrats would own a gun, just a phone to call the police.

I'll fix it. This is one of the gun grabbers as well, by the way.

Cool, thanks for posting it, I'm curious to see what (but I doubt if any) effect this may have.

Absolutely nothing. It never does.

Reminds me of the late and UN-GREAT Carl Rowan. Who had to flash
the race card to justify his possession and use of an UN-REGISTERED
pistol at his domicile in Washington, D.C.
Of course, he never really paid a price for violating gun laws of
the lawless D.C.!!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Rowan
Rowan gained public notoriety on June 14, 1988, when he shot
a teenage trespasser, Neil Smith, who was using Rowan’s swimming pool
in Washington, D.C.. Rowan used an unregistered .22 LR pistol.
Critics charged hypocrisy, since Rowan was a strict gun control advocate.
In a 1981 column, he advocated “a law that says anyone found in
possession of a handgun except a legitimate officer of the
law goes to jail—period.”
In 1985, he called for “A complete and universal federal ban on
the sale, manufacture, importation and possession of handguns
(except for authorized police and military personnel).”
Immediately after the shooting, Rowan offered several conflicting
accounts about where he got the handgun. He first said that he had
purchased the gun himself in response to threats on his life (which he
later claimed had been made by the Ku Klux Klan). He also initially
claimed that the gun had been properly registered. However, when
District of Columbia police disclosed that the gun had not been
registered, Rowan changed his story, claiming that the gun belonged
to his son, who “was an FBI agent and did not have to register
it [because it was] properly registered federally.”
Police officials pointed out that under D.C. law, all guns must be
registered locally; failure to do so was punishable by up to a
year in prison and a $1,000 fine.
Rowan was tried but the jury was deadlocked, the judge declared
a mistrial and he was never retried.
In his autobiography, Rowan said he still favors gun control,
but admits being vulnerable to a charge of hypocrisy.

Carry a gun. Because when every second counts, the police are just minutes away.

[GhostRider]

wonder if this will change his mind on gun control, and wanting to take away our guns?

[Irving]

I seriously doubt it. Someone on the website I got that from pointed out how people like this guy view themselves as the nobility, and the public as the serfs. Different rules for different classes.

and if the intruder had shot him, they'd be screaming for more gun control.
