So Carson, who said after the recent shooting at the college that he would charge the shooter and try to take him out, in a recent interview he told a story when he was held up at gunpoint:

I have had a gun held on me when I was in a Popeyes [in Baltimore]. … A guy comes in, puts the gun in my ribs, and I just said, "I believe that you want the guy behind the counter." … He said, "Oh, okay."
Normally this wouldn't be a huge deal because when you have a gun pointed at you its pretty difficult to tell how you will react. But to imply that victims of mass shootings were cowards, then admit that when a gun was pointed at you, you cowered and directed the gun at someone else, that's pretty despicable.
