Bad idea doctor on several accounts. If you need to shoot at someone the need to shoot should be to kill. You shoot because you believe your life is in immediate danger requiring that you take extreme measures of deadly force. You shoot at mass to accomplish this. Didn't the officer at Ferguson hit a limb? Did it stop the perp? Did it even slow him down? Deliberately aiming at limbs instead of mass greatly increases the chance of a stray round going to undesired destinations. It greatly decreases the chance of a perp being hit at all.

Dr Carson should go back to being a doctor. He's not POTUS material nor for that matter even congressional material. He seems to have some very naive ideas which he obviously has not fully reasoned out or if he has reasoned out came to factually & inaccurate conclusions. If you want to aim for non fatal {in most cases} areas then shoot in the groin region at least you stand a far better chance of hitting mass. But again the idea is to take the person out thus ending the threat. It's simply best to aim for mass.

Always mystifies me when FReepers immediately want to make a presidential candidate of a new face on the basis of a single speech.

The whispering doctor should concern himself more with the character flaws of the Gentile Giants and aspiring rap artists than wishing for Hollywood trick shooting from local PD.

Still trying to find his statement on the dangers choking out small folks who object to being robbed. Crushed hyoid bones, compression of carotid arteries, the medical factors, you know. Oh, and let’s add sucker punching white people with the intent of inflicting maximum to the brain, that being the principal area of his expertise.

Anybody who finds evidence of Carsons comments on such please ping me as I’d just love to read them.

I mistrust people unable to acknowledge real world dangers while punching the daylights out of straw men.
