Warriors & Sheepdogs is a blog about firearms, knives, survival gear and gaming. We don’t just talk about what’s new and what’s good, we also put them through our own tests.
A Warrior is one who is trained to go out and seek and remove evil where ever found: Military and Law Enforcement.
A Sheepdog is one who goes about their daily life making a living but keeping an eye out for the wolf.
When a wolf attacks, the Sheepdog will have the warrior in them, the tools at hand, to defend the young, the old and helpless: The private citizen.
