When I was in Switzerland, it was common to see a camo’d service guy on the train with his rifle leaning against the wall.

Switzerland have any problems?

Every male adult between 20 and 30 in Switzerland are issued a select fire automatic weapon and are trained in Civilian Defense. Military service is compulsory and when they are discharged they may keep their weapons. However, they must be modified to be only semi-automatic.

There are two reasons why Switzerland has been able to remain neutral for over a century. The forbidding terrain and the heavily armed citizenry.

Nope.

I was only there a week, but I really liked it.
