Hey guys,
What are your thoughts on the best .22 for a time of anarchy/civil unrest? We have a debate about it among some friends and your opinion would be appreciated.
I think this is a good question for the imagination. I could see a 22lr being a great tool for short to long term survival. If you were going into battle, sure an AR or AK would be better.
But for surviving discretely...
A bag of seed, 22 rifle, and an assortment of ammo could keep you and yours fed with birds, tree rats, and ??? Around here we've got deer, ducks, geese, and rabbits that add to the variety and don't require the bait. With the right ammo you wouldn't attract much attention.
A 22lr would not be my first choice for self defense, or offense, but a reliable pump 22lr used for collecting meat could also be used for defense.
And it could be used to discreetly take care of roaming undesirables.
