You have earned the privilege to national concealed carry under H.R. 218: LEOSA, but are you having difficulty finding reliable sources of information about this federal law?

We can help clear the confusion.

A live webinar is scheduled for January 30, 2021 with a new guest instructor (please go to Seminars/Courses for details). Click the button below to register.

A free webinar was given in August that specifically discussed the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision on illegal restrictions on magazine size as it relates to LEOSA. Also discussed was the NJFOP's and Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association's ongoing lawsuit against NJ AG Gurbir Grewal and the NJSP Superintendent and how that Civil Rights lawsuit impacts, SLEOs, retired LEOs, Deputy Sheriffs and full time Police and Fire LEOs. It was especially geared towards those in NJ.

We can help you navigate through the complex system of federal, state, and local firearm laws, rules, and regulations regarding H.R. 218: LEOSA through one of our seminars. It is our goal that all law enforcement officers are comfortable carrying when off-duty or retired so they can protect their loved ones, themselves, and us, the American public, which is why the law was created in the first place.

Sheepdog Academy has trained active and retired Federal, state, county, and local law enforcement officers from more than 300 agencies across the United States.

Thank you to all those who attended the recent webinar. Please stay tuned for upcoming webinar dates. We also hope to start up live seminars soon as well.

Testimonials from recent seminars/webinars taken straight from our post-course surveys:

"I took this presentation as a retiree but was surprised by the information that applies to active duty LEOs. Policy makers, active LEOs and retirees will all benefit from this information."

" Overall, felt the webinar was very worthwhile.."

"I Like That the LEOSA Presentation Material has the Latest Court Cases.."

"Answered so many questions that were ambiguous about carrying as a retired Leo."

"The law knowledge was very helpful."

"The information was on topic, up to date and, presented clearly. A few cases were referred to which, could have used a little background of the case details to better understand its relevance. Overall, an excellent class which I will recommend to others."

"What I like most about the presentation was the fact that I learned some of the do’s and don’ts when it comes to carrying a firearm after retirement this speaker seem to be well-versed on the subject and I enjoyed listening and learning from his presentation."

Our Mission

Since our founding in 2009, Sheepdog Academy has been dedicated to providing top notch firearms education for gun owners and "sheepdogs," i.e., the military, law enforcement, and law-abiding gun carriers that help protect us all from criminals and terrorists, i.e., "wolves." Many law-abiding civilians shy away from firearms because they are intimidated by firearms regulations. Likewise, trained law enforcement officers ("LEOs") and even attorneys often have difficulty understanding our complex patchwork of federal, state, and local firearms laws, rules, and regulations. As a result, too many LEOs do not carry off-duty because they are unclear about their right to national concealed carry.

Sheepdog Academy’s programs will help educate and train civilian gun owners and LEOs about:

the safe use, storage, transport and carriage of firearms;
using deadly and non-deadly force for self-defense;
the rights of civilians from any state to carry a concealed handgun in 25+ states for self-defense; and
the rights of current and retired law enforcement officers to carry concealed firearms nationwide.

Sheepdog Academy has trained active and retired Federal, state, county, and local law enforcement officers from more than 300 agencies across the United States. We have regularly instructed at police academies in New York, New Jersey, and over the Internet, but have also taught in Delaware, Virginia, and Nevada. For a list of agencies represented at our seminars, please click here.

Our programs can help clear away the confusion which “wolves” depend upon to maintain their advantage. You can help level the playing field for yourself by enrolling in a Sheepdog Academy course today.
