SHEEPDOG ACADEMY - Key Persons

Thomas Roughneen, Esq. is a firearms attorney, former Assistant Prosecutor, a combat veteran and Army JAG, and National Guard Lieutenant Colonel. He represents LEOs in a range of weapons matters and had the privilege of representing 3 State University LEOs when the NJ State Police denied their permits to carry in retirement. Those cases, and the appeal, led to the 2017 law that expanded the right to carry to almost all uniformed police officers who retire in good standing. Retired Sgt. Jim Gigante is a retired service Marine with over 20 years experience as a law enforcement officer. He will add practical aspects to the application of LEOSA.
