Okay. You got me there. It certainly could have been a doc, but most all the docs I know try not to bring it up in public to avoid a whole bunch of questions. I'm still betting on a young one, though. <45y?

He sort of looked like Dr. Oz, talked very similar to him as well (speech pattern), I'd say this guy was in the 45 and up category.

On a side note, my doc when I was in high school/college wore an aloha shirt under his lab coat, he had done mission/medical work in Hawaii for a number of years, he was a great and practical doc.

Regarding the doc at Academy:
I do wish I had said something along the lines of "take a look at the current CHL laws when you get home, church and hospital carry are only prohibited when posted with a compliant 30.06 sign."

C-dub, I should mention that this was during the lunch hour, and there's a hospital within eyesight of this Academy.

Regarding his profession, he passed himself off as a doctor that did surgeries...he was talking about surgeries. As far as wearing scrubs, the few times that I've been to the ER/Hospital, scrub-wear seems to be the norm for those in the medical profession, at least what I've seen with my own eyes.

Wife and I were in Academy today after lunch, looking at guns/ammo, just for grins, of course! (Seriously, I was there on another mission...but since I was there.... )

There's a guy in scrubs (overheard him say he was a doc/surgeon) that's at the gun counter and he's chatting with another customer. Doc/Surgeon guy tells the other customer that he wants to get something small to carry, since he works in a hospital and all...but it's illegal to carry in hospitals (he didn't say *his* hospital, but hospitals in general) and then he talks about how it's illegal to carry in churches....for once, I did NOT get involved in this conversation, but I'm kicking myself...if he has a CHL then he either didn't read/pay attention to the rules...or the instructor didn't go over it well enough....either way, it really chaps me when I hear folks spreading mis-information....ESPECIALLY gun-folks!

What the doc forgot is that it has to be posted with a compliant 30.06 sign for it to be off-limits for CHL carry....oh well...I almost told him to check out the forum...next time I will.
