I realize there are lots of LE/MIL here, but I know that the vast majority are citizens just like me (now). This is a list I came up with based on topics that I believe would be the most beneficial to the average citizen. Some because of time, location, and funds are more out of reach than others, but that does not change their importance in my mind, so any training on them is a good thing.
Interpersonal Communication Skills
High Threat Driving
Traumatic Injury Management
Open Hand Combatives
Improvised Weapons
Impact Weapons
Edged Weapons
Marksmanship with pistol, shotgun, rifle
Then tactics with the above three
All done with the consideration that during a large percentage of our day we are responsible for another person such as spouse or child.
Some may disagree with how far firearms are down on the list, But this is based on daily need, time and opportunity for use, and preventing the need for any level of force.
