Also the Swiss only get access to rifles and such from the militia right? Not exactly the kind of weapon you can hide under your shirt.
A bolt action rifle is the only one you can get without an acquisition permit, but you still need a background check. Swiss people can request things like pistols but they need to have a reason unless that reason is hunting, sport shooting, or collecting (like a museum). And I'm pretty sure they have to prove that it's one of those three things. If the reason is just something like "self-defense" I think that goes through several bureaucratic layers to get issued.
