How Did Jay Dobyns Start His Career?

Dobyns joined the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) as a Special Agent in 1987.

The suspect shot a single.38 caliber revolver round into Dobyns’ lung, exiting through his upper chest. When the other ATF agents fired fire from both sides of the car, the gunman was instantly dead.

Dobyns was seriously injured and brought to a Tucson hospital, where Dr. Richard Carmona, who later became the 17th Surgeon General of the United States, performed emergency trauma surgery that saved his life.

He refused to take a disability retirement despite the severity of his wounds and went back to work. He did over 500 covert operations over the next two decades.
