I kinda want to get something small like this (Ruger LCR .22 LR) for concealed carry. I've never owned a gun before, and based on my reading revolvers sound more reliable (plus I've always thought they looked cool). Went with 22 because of that time ammo got super expensive and 9mm was ridiculous compared to what you could get going for .22.

But is this gun stupid? Is concealed carry stupid? It's okay if I'm dumb, I know very little about guns other than like the last few nights I've spent trying to research a good, small concealed carry.

    I think you're making some good assumptions about what you want (a small, reliable gun for concealed carry) but I'll argue against .22 rimfire for reliability reasons - you can get light strikes on a .22 easily. Also if you're carrying for self-defense you shouldn't necessarily be taking ammo costs into consideration (beyond a certain measure).
