There's a certain irony here

No re-election bid for NC pol who shot intruder

"North Carolina's longest-serving state senator won't seek re-election next year as he faces possible criminal charges over a shooting at his home in August."

The irony, which isn't obvious in the article, is that I find from other sites that Rep. Soles is apparently a rather vigorous advocate of gun control.

Not that you'd notice...
