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. For information purposes only, 400 people had a license to bear arms in the canton of Geneva in 1998. Only eight "survivors" still have authorization today. Understandable when you realize how little violent crime there is in Switzerland.

that says that its very hard to get a pistol

EVERY home is required to have an active automatic weapon in it. Military service is mandatory, and you take your rifle home with you. From the site:

We’d like to stress that in our mind, there is absolutely no credible reason for an average citizen to want to transport a loaded weapon, given the fact that violent crime is practically non-existent in Switzerland. Firearm ownership is widespread in Switzerland, however, and precision shooting is a highly regarded pastime. Young people can practice shooting military weapons by the age of 16, and keep their rifles at home.

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
