Hi everyone - I`m looking for something nice for my 2.5 months old son - a Juventus item..
I cant find something that is nice and for a reasonable price - Do you know where I can find something nice and not too expensive?
For example plushes I found only from Italy and while their product price is fair their shipping price is insane..
Any recommendations?

Turning on my lights and screaming what the fuck while running around in my boxers seemed to disperse them pretty quickly.
Of course. Most of the time burglars are as scared as you are. But just think about it. If @Bjerknes has his way, your toddler could be dead right now because you couldn't handle the gun properly and accidentally shot her, and your left foot would be missing as they had to amputate it after it was too badly damaged by the the gunshots from the burglars.

Missed opportunity for everyone involved.

I would definitely want a gun if i lived in Mexico. I dont see why thats so unreasonable. Its not fuckin Denmark the place is actually fucking dangerous.

And dont say call the cops in Mexico because thats just lol. I have Mexican friends who won't even go back.

It's unreasonable because you're not the hero of some crime movie. If you're faced with violent and armed criminals no gun is going to help you. More than likely it would just add a whole new level of tension to an already difficult situation.

I know what youre trying to say but i think youre taking it a little too far. Sure someone who is unfamiliar with firearms isnt going to be very effective and potentially dangerous if there are bystanders but you make it sound as if someone has to have completed Navy Seal training to effectively use a firearm in self defense and that is simply not true.

If armed criminals break into my house i would rather at least have an option to defend myself then just be completely at the mercy of someone who might as well kill me so i cant identify them later.

If you live in an area that is so unsafe that this is a possibility, and with this I mean that possible robbers would go as far as to kill you for such reasons, then I would buy myself a gun. No doubt about it. I'd also get proper training so that I could handle it.

But even in Mexico most areas aren't like that.

I live in the East Bay Area, a place like that is always a few highway exits away and the people from these places have recently discovered this.

What are the odds that somebody breaks into your house, unexpected, and that you have plenty of time to to find & charge your weapon? Hell, maybe your gun would be in a drawer in the same room where the robber is at that point. Seems unlikely and something like that happens only in the movies when you exit as a hero and local newspapers. I wouldn't expect robbers to enter armed in the house, without knowing if somebody is in the house, and start searching for hiden money while giving you time to kill them or chase them away.

Not only that, people talk about it so easily, like you're pulling a trigger to kill a barking dog. You might end up alive but with lifelong traumas & insomnia.

Who would have trauma from killing someone who came to harm them?

Do you expect to have a gun just next to you, whereever you stand when there's a break in the house? What if you had to shit and you hear your glass breaking.

I'm not even kidding, but people are so silly thinking how a gun is a solution to everything and how it's just a button to press on the wall to kill the intruder.

What? :shifty:

Dude, it's the same thing in a war. You're surrounded by the people who want you dead, you go and kill them in order to protect yourself and/or your country. But you're left with traumas.

The part of Mexico where I live isn't any more dangerous than Oakland. I apparently live in the barrio and it took 3 years to have an incident.
