Full fledged conversion.

[longtooth]

For all the new ones on the board & a reminder to the old hands, below is the account of me getting busted by my Dr a yr ago now.

Had a DR. appointment Tuesday & was headed in the building as Dr also started in. We greated & I held the 1st door for him. He got the 2nd door, nodded & as I stepped through he popped me on the left kidney area as we visited & he hit my extra mags.
D. What was that? Was that a gun?
Me. No doc it was not.
D. Well what was it? I think you have a gun.
M. Doc you sure ask a lot of questions about a guys underwear. I am by now wondering where this is going. We are both continuing to walk toward the office.
D. If that was not a gun what was it?
M. My extra magazines.
D. You do have a gun. Short pause My wife has a pistol liscense.
M. Good I will be one to encourage her.
We split up. I register & he enters the Dr. door.
Later in the office for report on last visit.
D. Did you have one last time you were here?
M. Doc you have never seen me unarmed yet. Does that make you nervous now that you know it? I am no different when you know I am armed than when you did not know.
D. Well no I guess not.
Two week ago he took a biopsy of a little place that is going to be removed.
D. Did you have one the day I did your biopsy.
I can barely keep from showing a grin but I managed it.
M. Yes sir. It was not this one but I did have one in my back pocket.
D. I never did a biopsy on anyone with a gun on them.
M. Doc, You mean that you knew had a gun on them. I am sure you have more patients than you think that have CHL. Some of us carry all the time. If you had not patted my mags on the way in you would not know you had done my biopsy while I was armed. I never did tell him the wife was setting in the waiting room w/ another one.
D. Uhhh, right. OK your questions.
All back to normal for the rest of the visit. He did tell me that I am a high mantainance patient. Too many questions. I now have thought of my response to that for my next visit. I pd him $30.00 co pay & I don't know how much he charged my ins. That was for 30 minutes or a little less. I will tell him that he is a high Dollar Dr. & the only reason he thinks I am a a high maint. patient is that I dont come in here like the average sheep just saying, yes doc, anything you say doc. I have Qs when your gonna cut on me. Minor surgery is when you are cutting on me, it don't get to be major until they are cutting on you doc.

Update.
As reported before, they went to the range w/ me & shot once. She was hooked & he liked it OK. His wife went to the range several times w/ Wife, Mom, & myself. She bought a Sig 239. Doc finally decided to go w/ just me & him. He shot several. Ruger revolver, a snubbie, wifes Storm, & my 1911. That did it, he was hooked too.
Conclusion:
Monday we have anothere range dated set. He has his own pistol. They are joining the range. They will both be getting their CHL.

Good news LT, both on the conversion and your health.

Wish you could have made it last night, but we will se yall @ PSC in Sept.

[longtooth]

Yes I wanted to come. I just could not swing the expense of both that close together.
See you in Sept.
I will get my one yr checkup Sept 6th.
Dont let that hijack this. I will post results of it then.

Brilliant - well done

I dont know how brilliant it was. There for a while I thought I might get told to leave. I was really thinkin for a while.

[nuparadigm]

You did allright, my friend!

[PhilR.]

Great story, and well done.

All of the docs I know have firearms. All but one have their CHL. Only one carries on a daily basis - a 642 in an ankle holster, and he doesn't give a rat's backside if anyone sees it in his office, which happens occasionally because he doesn't know that his pants are too short to hide it when he sits down and crosses his legs.....

Recently I had to go in for a post procedure follow up and assumed there'd be no need for an exam. Wrong.

As it turned out the Physicians Assistant was doing the follow up and after a few questions she requested I take my shirt off so she could do a little poking and prodding and heart beat listening.

Uh-oh!

I was packing and in the past have always removed my pistol and holster, etc. any time I was to go in to see any doc and this was the very first time I hadn't.

I was absolutely positive there'd be no exam as the receptionist as much as said so when the appointment was made.

So, before I removed my shirt , I very calmly told the P.A. what she was about to see and how I've always removed it before coming in blah, blah, blah. I then thought she might also feel more secure knowing that I wasn't just some guy with a gun, so I showed her my CHL.

To her great credit, she said "No problem" as I removed my Glock 19 and layed it on chair.

I felt kind of embarrassed and foolish.

She seemed rather amused.

Way to go, LT!

My chiropractor and my dentist both have CHLs.

[GlockenHammer]

Converting the world, one person at a time. Well done.

buddy to go shooting with. And what carson1 ,said. Praise the LORD for a good report.
