In Switzerland almost every adult male also doesn't have any ammunition for his rifle at home. So realistically the worst police officers can expect is to be being hit over the head with that rifle.

- darklajid 11y agoDisclaimer: I'm from the neighboring country to the north. I know nothing. I _thought_ that you're supposed to have some ammunition at home though? 'Taschenmunition' or something? Like, say, 20 rounds? Let's ignore the standards for storing those, but my impression is that a) ~a lot~ of people in CH have rifles _with_ ammo b) ~a good number~ of kills at home in CH happen using said rifle ("Cheating wife? Thank the military for the rifle right here" or - on a different end of that scale - "Life is unbearable, but the state provided me with a convenient way to move on"). Can you set me straight?

- darklajid 11y agoThanks a lot. I feel old, both for learning that my information is absolutely outdated and for not .. asking Wikipedia about it, before I posted here. :)
- vutekst 11y agoMy understanding is that most militia members cannot keep ammunition in their homes, but private citizens can have ammo as they please. http://world.time.com/2012/12/20/the-swiss-difference-a-gun-culture-that-works/ http://world.time.com/2012/12/20/the-swiss-difference-a-gun-...
