Thought excersise mostly.

Lets say you just turned 18 and are heading out on your own for work or school. You value the 2nd, and understand the benefits of having a firearm. Sine you are 18 handguns are mostly out, so a rifle it is. Your travels will take you to part unknown so a super duper ar15 tactical with proper mags is out and you are limited to fixed mags or 10 round detachable and trying to not look tacticool. You are a poor student or teenager so cheap ammo for practice is of importance. Compactness and storability is a must since its hard to incognito a full length rifle.

I'm thinking a takedown ruger 10/22 or marlin Papoose. Maybe a folddiwn rifle in 9mm.

What are your thought?
