This is a container clue - one word or phrase goes inside another word or phrase to form the answer.
Look for 'active person' (4 letters) and put an 'explosive' (4 letters) inside it. The word 'carrying' is your container indicator, showing that the active person contains the explosive.
Answer: DOMINEER | DOER (active person) contains MINE (explosive) - the active person is 'carrying' the explosive inside to give DOMINEER (browbeat).
