The guns stored in homes as part of military service, are stored without ammunition. While CH does have a relatively high amount of guns per capita (~27), it pales in comparison to the United States (~120). Is the US 4X safer than Switzerland, or might there be other factors that account more for the low crime rates in Switzerland?
