North Carolina State Senator Shoots Home Intruder

Imagine you are 72 and living in a secluded area. A 22 year old man, who has broken into your house before, is giving it another go, this time with help.

What do you do?

If you are R.C. Soles, you put a pill in the punk:

Attorney Joe Cheshire said Monday that Soles used a pistol to shoot the 22-year-old at his home and the incident was recorded by security cameras on the senator’s property.

Authorities say Soles shot Kyle Blackburn Sunday night when he and another man tried to kick in the door of Soles’ secluded home. Nobody has been charged.

Blackburn was listed Monday in fair condition at a South Carolina hospital.

Soles has had a series of confrontations with former law clients in the past two years. He called for help from local police at least nine times to ward off men who were charged with trespassing.

There are examples of this kind of self defense every day. A great place to keep track of them is on Clayton Cramer’s Gun Self Defense Blog. I know the title’s kind of deceptive, but trust me…it’s about the use of guns for self defense.
