I thought most Swiss males basically were already armed.
Doesn’t the Swiss Army send home every conscript with their battle rifle and a certain amount of ammunition? They then bring them back in every 2 years or so for updating and training? Am interested to hear from anyone who has better knowledge than I.
Sounds like an ideal way for a small nation with decentralized government to defend itself and its culture.
I’m an old man, so I could be mistaken, but I think the man was referring to armed in all places and at all times ... as in carry a loaded tool everywhere you go. That sounds more like ‘get a good handgun and learn how to use it’.
