I'm not a gun expert at all and honestly I'm fairly new to guns. I've shot guns as a kid but only every so often and only recently have I had a true interest in them.

I've been beginning to prepare and I plan on keeping a wellstocked BOB in my car so I have it at all times. My question for everyone is what should I use for a bug out rifle in my car? I could use any cheap gun. It could be a .22 (which I already have with lots of ammo) semi-auto, or I could go buy something with more stopping power like a Mosin Nagant. I just figured I'd ask this in the .22 thread. I only need this gun to 1) ward off any threats if there are any 2) bring with me if I head for the hills.
