Becoming the Civilian Defender

Nice overall list of priorities here:

1. Mental Awareness and Mental Preparedness
2. Tactics
3. Skill
4. Equipment

I don't agree with all of this one (what about long guns???, in 2024 a lot more people live in Constitutional Carry states, take a single "Handgun Skills and Tactic's Course???  No friggin' way someone is going to learn all they need to know in one weekend), but the list is a nice start to thinking about training priorities:

education of THE CIVILIAN DEFENDER:

   Criminology/Street Smarts/Physical Preparedness
   Defensive Driving
   Emergency Medical
   Legal Preparation, Aftermath and Rules of Engagement
   Less Lethal skills
   Handgun Carry Course
   Handgun Skills and Tactics Course
   Defensive Tactics

God forbid we understand how easy it is for someone to disarm us of our "magic wand" at close range and learn some H2H to avoid this.

Yes I agree with you, list definitely isn't complete lol.
