A Sheep Dog's Prayer

Dr. Kevin Keough: The Sheepdog's Prayer

It so caught the spirit of the sheep dog (which I’m sure some of you know defensivecarry.com personifies) that I just had to share it here. Enjoy

The Knights of Olde were Men of Honor
Who used their Might For Right!
Today they’re known as Sheepdogs,
Those who carry on the fight.

I am a tired old Sheepdog,
The guardian of my flock.
I keep the predators at bay
And stand watch around the clock.

Please stop the Sheep from pulling my teeth.
I’ll need them for the fight,
When the hungry Wolves come calling
Some dark and deadly night.

I pray I'll never need my gun,
But someday if I do,
May my cause be just!
My draw be quick!
And my aim be ever true!

Heaven holds a special place
For those who do the deed,
Defenders of the innocent
In their hour of need.

May the Sheep someday be grateful.
There’s a debt they can not pay
To the Sheepdogs who lay it on the line
Each and every day.

I am proud to be a Sheepdog.
I've done my very best.
I'll stand my watch until my Maker
Calls me home to rest.

But when I meet St. Peter
There's just one request I’ll make,
“Please let me spend Eternity
Standing guard at Heaven's Gate”.

Lord, help us bring this ''Age of Sheep''
To a rapid end.
Then fill this land with Sheepdogs,
Men of Honor, once again.

This prayer is dedicated
To those who bravely face,
The dangers all around us,
To make our world a safer place.

To the soldiers, cops and warriors-
Sheepdogs through and through.
Thank you for your service
And your sacrifices too.
Amen

ROTFLMAO!!!! Now they have a prayer LOL! Whats next a members only jacket and patch? When do the "sheepdog" uniforms come out? When I hear the word "sheepdog" it makes me think of a scanner buddy riding around in full kit, just waiting for his chance to respond and become a hero. I love how they refear to themselves as "like knights of old" yet another way to say they think of themselves as being better then "none sheephogs". They see other permit holds as unfit to hold the permit because they do not enbrace the "sheepdog" mind set (as has been shown on this forum already by those who think of themselves as "sheepdogs").

How dare you mock the sanctity of thje noble sheeeeeeeep dog! I bet you don't even have a CCW. Heathen!!!!!!

There actually was an attempt at getting together a group buy of "sheep dog lapel pins" on the old THR several years ago. The idea was to wear them so that other permit holders wouldn't shoot you if you had to draw your weapon to defend the food court

I think this fits.

And don't forget the most important accessory for any "sheepdog", the CCW badge.

I guess you just weren't thinking "tactical" for a moment there.

LOL What happens if you get fired from the "sheepdog department"? Do you have to turn in your badge, permit and gun? Can you carry over your 401k and health?

You become a permanent fixture on Defensivecarry.com; where you spend the rest of your life advising people to inform any cop w/ in a quater mile of you that you are legally armed to "show respect'
