Training, deep concealment, decent capacity, utterly silent when suppressed.
Far from an optimal defensive caliber, but its easy to have access to in almost any circumstance.

22lr as a defensive weapon
pros: it will bounce around in the target's abdomen and cause maximum damage
cons: pain compliance doesn't work on a motivated or inebriated assailant

I know you are memeing, and its a good one, but just jumping on an opportunity to be a souless factchecker here...
It will not bounce around in your target. A non-hollowpoint might deflect off of a rib or bone, but that sets it on a new trajectory. Anatomically ribs and bones are there to protect things behind them, so its not really a positive feature. .22 will royally mess you up, but thats because its a fucking bullet and they are easy to get consecutive shots with. Ya aim for the head.
.22 is an essential for everyone, but for practical reasons like cheap non-disruptive training and varmits.

Incorrect, this is just a meme that came about because something like this may have happened once with a head shot. A head shot that any other round would have still killed with.

Ruger SR22 weighs just over 1 pound
Ruger 10/22 weighs 5 pounds
1000 rounds of 22lr weighs just under 8 pounds
Less than 15 pounds total. Before factoring magazines and gear.
You could have all 1000 rounds in 40, 25rd magazines and add 15lbs to this.

Semiautomatic .22?
Well, the way in which we measure it is- I think most scholars would say- is that as long as you have a weapon sufficient to be able to provide your self-defense. I did one of these town-hall meetings on the Internet and one guy said, "Well, what happens when the end days come? What happens when there's the earthquake? I live in California, and I have to protect myself."
I said, "Well, you know, my shotgun will do better for you than your AR-15, because if you want to keep someone away from your house, just fire the shotgun through the door." Most people can handle a shotgun a hell of a lot better than they can a semiautomatic weapon in terms of both their aim and in terms of their ability to deter people coming. We can argue whether that's true or not, but it is no argument that, for example, a shotgun could do the same job of protecting you. Now, granted, you can come back and say, "Well, a machine gun could do a better job of protecting me." No one's arguing we should make machine guns legal.
If you want to protect yourself, get a double-barrelled shotgun, have the shells, a 12-gauge shotgun, and I promise you, as I told my wife- we live in an area that's wooded and somewhat secluded- I said, "If there's ever a problem, just walk out on the balcony here, walk out, take that double-barrelled shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house." I promise you, whoever's coming in, is not. You don't need an AR-15. It's harder to aim, it's harder to use, and in fact you don't need 30 rounds to protect yourself. Buy a shotgun. Buy a shotgun.

This, and the amazing aftermarket for many .22 guns is why its such a no-brainer for an outdoorsman.
M&P .22 Compact with a can and magazine in your pocket is something you can walk around with on your waist all day and forget its even there.
Though, I'm always very... skeptical... of survivalist and the bugout guys. I tend to find most of their schemings to be laughable. They aren't wrong about a .22 being king of fieldcraft however.

Yo wtf, did josh seriously release this on his gumroad? I knew you were a fan of cheese, but I guess american cheese is just that good?
And from what I've heard from a senile floridian, Publix has a nice selection of charcuterie cheeses, like gorgenzolla, swiss, muenster, and monterray jack, which is pretty much what they have in europe, right?

Good, more jeets should self-deport. These shit skinned hypocrites have an entire culture based around class yet when they come to other countries they are surprised that everybody sees them for what they really are. Wage slaves.

I live in a nogunz country. If I COULD get a shotgun, I'd get this. I've seen it in lots of old action movies and I like the weird and unique look a lot.
