Re: Best way to carry in hospital scrubs

PostShooter wrote:I wear scrubs all day. To make matters worse, they are like a reddish, purplish, pink color that still draws a dirty look from my father-in-law every time he sees me in them. But I'm sure the hospital I work at got them for practically nothing and I don't have to pay for them myself. I see people walking around with waist packs on all day long. They could be carrying medical stuff, they could be carrying a 1911. No one knows. And like someone said earlier, all that fanny pack stigma goes right out the window when you're in scrubs. If you're wearing them, it's hard to look manly anyway.

Get a small bag that will fit your gun nicely. Red or orange is the color here - screams "medical." Preferably something with a big, white cross on it. Something that will slip on a nylon web belt, or something similar. That way, it looks like a bag of stuff you need for your job and you pulled it together out of expediency. Not like you spent a weekend shopping online for the perfect fanny pack that will match all your accessories.

Hey, wearing scrubs is bad enough. Don't make it worse. Make it work for you.
You just may have convinced me. Also, thanks for the link xrays :thumbs2:

I am we'll trained in aiki-jujitsu and am proficient with stick and knife. I carry a knife and pepper spray. I don't run though. That was the reason I got out of the army.

My point was about when I leave my hospital job in my hospital scrubs I'd like to carry my pistol on body while runnin errands.

My years in martial arts, and love of UFC has shown me that every body is trained in something. I trust my skill but don't trust that it is better than the BG's.

It's gotta be better than man-purse? Right?
umm...I carry a man-purse :oops:

Really, it's an iPad case that slings over the shoulder. It is canvas and O.D. green so, not really a "murse" as my daughter calls it. ;-) ;-)

You should consider a fanny pack.

Here's why:
- In scrubs, people will assume it's a gear bag of some sort loaded with things you need, probably medical equipment or personal effects that don't fit in your pockets.

- It's easy to strap on / off without undressing (or wearing an empty holster all day).

- I also support the ankle carry option, but a fanny pack gives you much better access for a quick and clean draw.

Best way to carry in hospital scrubs

I work in a hospital that requires me to wear medical scrubs, the kind with the drawstring that is difficult enough to keep from falling down with a cell phone let alone a fully loaded gun! Anyway, I can't carry inside the hospital because of the 30.06, but when I leave work, i like to strap on my gun to go from car to house (or anywhere else once I get my plastic) but can't figure a way to carry in these scrubs that keep the gun readily accessible on body.

Any ideas?
