Sheepdog Protection Group

Sheepdog Protection Group operates out of Cincinnati as a Federal Firearm License dealer specializing in firearm transfers and self-defense products. Founded by Brandon Oden, a Marine Corps veteran with combat experience in Afghanistan and Iraq plus diplomatic security work with the State Department, the company exists to help people take charge of their personal security.

If you're buying a firearm online, you need an FFL to receive it. Sheepdog handles that end-to-end:

Transfer Fees: - $20 per firearm (standard) - $10 per firearm (military, veterans, first responders) - No separate NICS fee—it's all-inclusive

What You'll Need: - Government-issued photo ID (driver's license, state ID, or passport) - Cash for the transfer fee - Valid Ohio CCW permit (if you have one issued after March 23, 2015—skips the NICS check)

1. Order your firearm from any online dealer 2. Provide seller contact info (email or fax) along with order details to [email protected] if they don't already have Sheepdog's FFL info on file 3. Receive confirmation when Sheepdog's info goes to the dealer 4. Get the call when your firearm arrives—typically takes a week depending on the seller's shipping standards 5. Inspect at pickup—make sure it matches what you ordered 6. Complete ATF Form 4473—the official firearms transaction record 7. Background check results come back as either "proceed" (walk out same day after payment) or "delay" (wait 3 business days)

Military personnel stationed in Ohio need a copy of PCS orders showing Ohio assignment.

Beyond transfers, Sheepdog stocks:

• •Pepper spray brands: Mace®, Wildfire™, Pepper Shot
• •Stun guns: Multiple models including Runt, Trigger, Slider, BashLite with flashlight attachments
• •Tactical knives: Folding knives, automatic knives, butterfly knives, concealed carry options (34+ models)
• •Personal security: Telescopic steel batons, tactical pens, personal alarms, Kubotan keychains
• •Home security: Diversion safes, home alarms
• •Animal repellents: Bear and dog repellent, electronic dog repellers

As a veteran-owned company, Sheepdog communicates clearly about what to expect. They work with customers on scheduling and don't mind delays—they just ask for a call if something comes up.

Brandon Oden's background in personal security and combat experience informs their product selection. They emphasize that 1 in 4 people will experience violent crime regardless of gender, age, location, or profession—so their mission focuses on making quality self-defense accessible.
