view of the Second Amendment.
But what nobody knew at the time that he had taken over the role of basically the NRA's chief lobbyist is he had a hidden past that included the shooting death of a Mexican teenager in the town that Carter lived in when he himself was a teenager.
There was a confrontation that happened in 1930s in which he confronted a couple of Mexican kids who had
basically passed through the backyard of Carter's mother's house.
And she got into a little bit of a verbal tiff with them.
And Carter went to find them, to bring them back to his house to have his mother talk to them.
He brought a shotgun with him.
And they had an argument by the side of a creek, and he ended up shooting and killing a Mexican teenager in the course of this argument.
He was charged with manslaughter, and he was convicted.
And the case ended up being overturned, and ultimately the case was never—it was dropped, it was never retried.
And so it kind of was put into the past.
But Carter moved on and in so doing, changed the spelling of his first name from Harlan with an A to Harlan with an O at the end.
And he effectively covered this up.
No one knew about it until the 1980s when the New York Times discovered it and confronted him at a NRA meeting.
I believe it was in Colorado.
And at first he denied it.
Then he eventually had to admit that, yes, this is what happened.
But he still insisted he didn't do anything wrong.
Well, you would think that it would be something that members of Congress, especially when they were hearing testimony from Harlan Carter, which they did quite frequently in the 1970s about gun laws, would have wanted to know that.
And there was a kind of a very interesting moment in one of these hearings where Carter, he was opposing some gun control bills that NRA didn't like.
