Carl Rowan Sr. is the hypocritical anti-gun newspaper columnist who shot an unarmed teenager for climbing into his fenced-in swimming pool (in D.C., where ownership of a handgun is a crime). Carl Rowan Jr., his son, is a former LEO (may still be one) who at one time was a candidate for NRA BoD. Apparently this time the apple fell a good distance away from the tree.
