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

Let us help you navigate through the complex system of federal, state, and local firearm laws, rules, and regulations through one of our seminars. We need all law enforcement officers to be comfortable carrying when off-duty or retired so they can protect their loved ones, themselves, and the American public, which is why the law was created in the first place.

Save the date - Sheepdog Academy returns to the Rockland County Police Academy in Pomona, NY for a live seminar on Saturday, November 9th, 2019. Stay tuned for other upcoming dates.

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.

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.
