nutnfancy (sheepdogs)

[gottabkiddin]

Truth be known, I'm more like a werewolf than anything, or so says my wife.

Sheepdog or underdog, it's just a term meant respectfully towards a certain character of male and or female, that will for what ever reason go to the aid of someone in danger or need. It's a fact some will, some wont. I simply call um good folks and worthy of my respect. FWIW

Respectfully, You are certainly entitled to your opinion regarding the whole sheepdog thing. I personally believe you are wrong by categorizing the whole lot as "CHP status imparts some type of Law Enforcement responsiblity on them" Some may for sure and that's just the way it is, just like some LEO's are better with people than others, but not all LEO's are or should be considered Barney Fife's until they have proven themselves to be just that. JMO.

I have to agree and I like the sheepdog concept, but that may just be the Boy Scout in me. I don't think Nutnfancy meant to insinuate that someone with a concealed cary weapon needed to be come "Vigilante Protector of the CItizens", rather thats its the mindset of the person "who is willing to do" versus the person "who is not willing to do". I personally think every good person has a certain degree of obligation to care about other people. And this isn't a gun thing, a gun is just one of many tools. But if someone is stuck in the mud are you the one sitting there going "Hey, that guy is stuck in the mud and the tow truck isnt around" or are the the prepares one with a tow rope who can spare a few minutes to help someone out? To me thats what a sheepdog is, someone who can give someone a jump or help an elderly lady get a large bag of dogfood in her car even.

I think most people perception of a "sheepdog" is that of a vigilante and I do NOT agree with people taking on the role of law enforcement. To me, concealed carry doesnt make you any more of a citizen but most CC people are prepared in other ways too. Theres nothing wrong with helping people out so long as its within reason.

ALex!

My first reach is for the cell phone, if the threat is firing on folks and my conditions for the safest engagement are there. I'll intervene and do my best to end the threat for everyones sake, but only under lethal threat or direct engagement to my person. My CC weapon is for mine and my loved ones personal protection, not to play LE.

Its a metaphor(sp?), and a label. People aren't metaphors, and can't easily be assigned a label. The closest label my close friends have for me is Black Dog, its kinda the "Left Hand Man". So as to the Term Sheepdog, its a way of saying good people wishing to help others.

See that's my point in the threads I pointed out people were actually positing that you should take your 38 snubby and chase down the Von Marr shooter because that was your duty as a "sheep dog". What you just posted here is exactly my position so we are actually in agreement on this

And I'm ok W/ that I would and have done that for folks before. it's just when you creep over into vigilante territory that I get nervous

So Treo is the Sheepdog of Sheepdogs now?

Obviously there may be some people that take things to extreme, but if you've lurked around gun forums long enough (only 44 posts in a year?), you'd know that being a sheepdog is more of a mindset that you'll step up when/if needed, not that you run off vigilante style.

He showed me how to break down my Ruger Mark III .22 target pistol and put it back together!

What goes on at another forum, doesn't really have anything to do with this forum....

Personally, I like nutnfancy and his videos....

[retsupt99]

I'm a big fan of Nutnfancy. His videos are first rate and have dedication to the project is incredible. For anyone who is just discovering him, dig through his catalog a bit, he discusses/reviews a large variety of tactical and outdoor products.

I love when he goes to gun shops and bust's jokes about stuff being overpriced. It's pretty funny.

I love the AK and AR series he does. It's pretty spot one IMHO.

Well said, and spot on!
I too have watched his videos for a while and really enjoy them, love his WROL video.

[HardcoreSlot]

ive been watching his videos for a couple months now, i love em! I usually get a couple in right before bed. nothing bad about the guy but sometimes his on and on and on puts me right to sleep! lol. He just did a review on a 5.11 tac vest that was very cool. thinkin of gettin one and using it for just being outdoors. think that would be good when im out riding 4 wheelers and wanna pack a pistol and/or rifle. or out bunny or squeeky bashing. hate holding my pistol on my hip when i have to sit in the dirt! Thanks NUTIN!

sorry for rezing old thread but i had to share!
