Keep these tenets in mind and you’ll be one step closer to living the sheepdog lifestyle, as opposed to simply joining the ranks of the delusional gun nuts.

He’s paying for his crime for the rest of his life… and this might have been avoided!
Stay aware of your surroundings.
That means being armedforces, being ready, and being conscious at all times.

When you’re staring down three thugs determined to mug you and rape your wife, what do you want on your side…
The sheep need you, the sheepdog, to protect them from the wolves.
The fact is, every single day, though, lots of people do it.
I can think of no greater expert on that topic than Lt. Col. Dave Grossman.
Most people who follow the”tactical” community, most people who are armed and a modest trained, want to consider themselves”sheepdogs.”
