Strict legislation in Switzerland has made it extremely difficult to obtain a license to bear arms, and the trend is moving towards even stricter laws.

By that I assume you mean "license to carry a concealed handgun in public", as opposed to needing a license to own a rifle or handgun and keep it in your home

From reading the website, the license to bear would also seem to cover loaded rifiles or handguns. Unloaded too, but with sufficient exemptions to allow you to carry back and forth to the range, gunsmith, hunting field, etc.

Also required is a "shall issue" type license to purchase, but it's really more akin to our instant background check. And it's not required if you buy from an individual.
