[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3508900, member: 35036"] I personally wouldn't keep a .22lr in my vehicle for a "get home gun". Yeah, you could use it, but ideally, you won't (or shouldn't) be confronting anyone on your trip back to the house for a good ol fashioned gunfight. I think that an extra magazine for your sidearm, and a good pair of shoes to go with a backpack with a water bottle, snack, and first aid kit would suffice. With that in mind, A knowledge of alternate routes home is going to be your best way home, whether it is knowing what railroad tracks can get you home, or "concrete rivers". In OKC, you can actually travel via concrete river from Arcadia-hefner-stanley draper-overholser. at least that's what I have been told. I've done a little exploring of it myself, you can get from penn square mall to lots of places in the city via this same network. I think that using this to your advantage is better than dragging a long gun around the city on foot. If I had to pick a 22lr platform, it would be a 10/22. But I would much rather have an ar or ak platform if I absolutely could. as compact and as light as possible. a bolt/lever gun wouldn't be bad either, but that's with the mindset that I'm primarily using a handgun and trying to get home as stealthily as possible.
