“Instead of saying, ‘If it happens, then I will take action,’ the Sheepdog says, ‘When it happens, then I will be ready.’”

If the facts/data is valid, you can sort and start root cause analysis using the 5 whys technique. The most practical answers come from people who have hands-on experience with the process or problem in question (from both sides, actually criminals, sheep, and sheepdogs)

The first step in the discussion is to pick a side. If you believe that good guys(sheepdogs) can stop bad guys(wolfs), then you must choose a side you are a sheep or a sheepdog.

If you decide to be a Sheepdog, consider looking very carefully at the NJ carry permit information and process local teams that do a good job, is Gun For Hire, LLC FSS Armory and RTSP - Range, Firearms & Training (RTSP Randolph)
