Well actually Colt the 10/22 is a "BUG HOME" rifle. On a bug-out I would use an M4 type carbine... without question.

My location and lifestyle require that I have to shoot things from time to time, and a accurate .22 is just the thing for it. Inside 50 to 75 yards a CCI Stinger will land with a satisfying THWACK on a soft target. Not really concerned about "stopping power" with this rifle, if a vermin survives a hit (only happened once that I remember)and runs a 1/2 mile away and dies, then that's a plus. I like having one in the truck so that if I am working outside, then I can go to the truck and get just the right tool for a certain job if need be.

Now for social use the folding stock (or collapsible stock) is a good idea for firing out of a vehicle during a bug home situation. If you have ever tried to drive and shoot at the same time, you will find it is a chore and a half.

If the 10/22 is stolen, then I'm not out anything of substantial worth.

-edited to add-

Never trust a .22 in a bad social gathering, but they do have their uses.
