I keep skimming the threads and thinking the title of this one says, ".22 LR free to good home."
I gotta look at it twice.
May be time to take my temperature and lie down. LOL.

The advice given above to travel during hours of darkness is a good idea.

Fun little bit of info: The Israeli Defense Force has in the past (and still does) uses marksmen with Ruger 10/22's for "less than lethal" crowd control.

Well using that math, they shot 7 MILLION 22 rounds in 16 months. That's 14,583 per day. Jeez.

Hey! A lot of us don't do math so good here!

I don't know Karate but I know Krazy.

So do two of my ex-wives. Just ask my bank.

Why not a breakdown survival .22? The Papoose is small and fits in a small canvas case when broken down and you can carry it in one hand and if you need a ride and it presents itself they won't be too concerned about a .22 you're carrying.

For me it's more about the 4 legged critters I may encounter. My travels take me out in the middle of the country and often after dark. Sometimes in areas where even the cell towers don't go. If I break down and have to hoof it, I want something that can make a critter think twice about just how good I might taste. You dump 10 rounds into a coyote and he's either dead or at least seriously rethinking his life choices in that moment.


Lot of fatal coyote attacks in your county?
