I work at a cpa firm and noticed a CDNNinvestments catalog in the mail for one of the lawyers. just today, I was looking at one of the partner's credit card statement and noticed an indoor range fee for $220 lol. I wonder what he was doing there, but I don't want to ask

can't tell if they are hunters, collectors and/or shooters
:what:
 
We have several physicans that openly support the 2nd Amendment, NRA decal on glass entry doors and post conservative items on their electronic signs. A lot are shooters but few will let their positions be known. Nice that some have the gonies to put their feelings out in public.
 
he wanted me to fill out the remittance copy that goes along with the check and prepare an envelope for him to mail out.
 
MD here with NRA sticker and "protected by Glock" sticker on my truck...

yesterday one of the security guards at the hospital yelled out "hey Doc, let me show you something" as I was gettin into my truck and showed me his Glock with new slide safety trigger, just because he noticed my sticker.

I don't think it matters if you are a professional or not...some of us are open 2A supporters and just like to shoot :rolleyes:
 
In my experience, a good segment of many open-enrollment defensive firearms classes is composed of professionals.
 
I can top that. I work in higher education and yes, many educators are pointy headed Liberals, but not all. There are many shooters and hunters on campus. We just try to keep a low profile.
 
The magazines in the waiting room tell alot about a professionals likes and dislikes
Click to expand...

When I know I'm gonna be sitting in a waiting room, I usually bring along some gun magazines & leave them behind when I leave. At most places, when I come back for a return visit, I see the very same old rags that were there the last visit ( People, Time, etc ), but the gun stuff I brought is always gone. Don't know if the staff is trashing them, or other people are taking them home.

My doctor is a hunter. Every visit, we share a few firearms stories. Then it's turn your head & cough:what:

I'm a lawyer. All the guys from my office own guns and we go shooting together.

Who said 'professionals' don't like guns?
 
My doctor keeps outdoors magazines in the waiting room along with People and the normal stuff. Last time I was there I read a review on a new bolt-action hunting rifle while I waited. Can't remember the exact magazine.
 
Last time I was at my podiatrist's office, he was telling me about the new Kriss .45 carbine he bought himself for Christmas.
 
I'm only white-collar right now because it's part of the uniform. So maybe I don't count. :p

But I have noticed that every attorney I've met worth his salt was, if not pro-gun, than accepted the 2A for what it's worth. They understand that the people they represent (or fight against) rarely get them legally, and are only unwilling to use them against someone who points one back.

This should read as: if an attorney is not pro-2A, they're lacking in the logic department and don't deserve my business.
 
"...don't want to ask..." Why not? You new there? Ask the guy what he shoots. Shooters tend to like talking about their toys. Keep your trap shut about his CC bills though.
Hopefully that $220 was for an annual membership. If not, you could take him to your club.
 
At one of the PT sessions following my neck surgery, I forgot to leave the CCW in the car. It came time to shed my shirt and I am trying to discreetly slide the IWB holster out with my shirt over it and dump the entire pile under my chair. The therapist LOUDLY declared "there was only one reason someone handles a shirt like that, do you mind if I have a look" Before I can respond, she has my Beretta out of the holster, mag dropped, jacks the round out of the chamber and is asking if I ever though of hanging a laser under it like the DOC has on his. She gets on the intercom and calls for the surgeon to come down to PT. We spend 15 minutes talking guns and I get a lecture to stay away from the range until he tells me the neck is healed up enough.

...15 minutes is about 10 more than he spend in the exam room with me both pre and post operative. The next follow-up visit is probably another 15 - 20 minutes where we talked about 10 seconds about my neck and the rest of the time about shorting clays. Ended up shooting with him at a fund raiser about 6 months later.
 
My Dentist and my family G.P. are both gun guys. The dentist is more duck hunter and the GP is more self defense ( I think ). We don't talk much, just some off and on.

People Doc is a pro 2A guy, hates lily livered leftists. I took my cat in for a rabies shot today, and wore a pro hunting t-shirt, first thing I grabbed. Vet Doc asks me where the good hunting is, where's the range, etc.
Yeak, it's cool in small town AZ. :)
 
"Is his name Iwana Hid-diSalami or Huz-Bin Farteen"

I just about spewed an evening beverage myself when I read that. GOOD ONE. I find Hunting and Gun magazines in my Family Doctor and Dentist's office as well. I've even had gun chats with Doc. Hey, if the AMA is going to do everything they can to jam anti-gun BS into the office, isn't it MY duty to ensure the Doctor who is treating my family, and taking a LOT of my money (4 and 7yo boys), shares the same beliefs and values that I do? I changed Dentists because my previous one did not. It is my and my Insurance Company's money, for a while anyway, so I spend it accordingly.

You might try an angled approach such as: "Hey, I notice a CDNN catalog in the mail and saw your name on it. I've been thinking about buying a "new" gun. Could you give me some advice?" BAM, if he's a gun guy, you're in like flint!
 
I have a little experience on the other side of the fence....I'm known as the gun guy to all of my employees. One of them just bought his first gun a couple months ago and another just came to me for a recommendation on his first one. I felt like a proud new daddy. :D

I never push it, but I'm always willing to talk guns and promote responsible gun ownership. We're planning on a range day at work, to introduce a few of them to responsible gun ownership.
 
My Optometrist is a hunter. He's likely to show me a picture of his latest elk (last week it was a bobcat) before pictures of his kids....

I had to go to a Social Security shrink a while back. He about freaked when he found out that I knew what a gun was.

Another Social Security doctor - an MD - surprised me by asking me to remove my pants. I tucked the Commander under the pillow. She didn't react at all. (Given that me without pants is not something anybody - even a gal - really wants to see.... :))

My family doc's building was posted for a long time, but the sign was removed for Christmas decorations a few years ago, and never replaced. One of the other tenants posted it. I've been going to him for more than 30 years, and every time he finds the gun, he asks why.... But it's not a problem....

What amazes me, being Jewish, and you guys all know how many Jewish hunters you're likely to run into, or even JPFO types, once the word got out at my Synagogue, I get a lot of "hey, what do you think of...." questions. (What's really funny is that I have a Law Enforcement background - rent-a-cop, and just about everybody there knows all about it, too, but none of this came up before OH's CHL program in 2004. I was actually once invited to attend an obscure event because I'd be bringing a gun with me.... Can't get him to go downtown and do the paperwork, but I talked the Rabbi into a CHL - he's passed the course. Pretty good shooter, too.)

(My wife's late uncle was a hunter. His boys still shoot a bit. Surprised the heck out of both of us.... I'm not a hunter, but don't object to it. Deer is good, too :D .... )

My dad was a Dentist. He pretty well defined it as "if you want a gun in the house, bring a badge with it." I did....

I spread the word quietly....

Regards,
 
I don't know about you guys, but NAK's story was weird.

I would have been VERY uncomfortable with a stranger handling my gun w/o my permission.
