In theory at least, most Swiss males have military training, know how to use weapons,etc., The British have a 'Professional' volunteer military. The vast majority of British males have never received military training, and are clueless about firearms, etc., This is probably one big reason why it's so easy to get extremely restrictive firearm legislation passed in the UK, and why British authorities are so successful in demonizing firearms, to the point even most police are un-armed, which is unheard of is almost all similar nations, with very rare exception. Ask a German, French, Spanish, Swiss, American, Canadian, cop to do their job un-armed and they'd look at you like you have two heads. |

I spent most of my childhood in Switzerland and I can say at least my male relatives have received a great deal of military training. My cousins can all fly helicopters thanks to the goverment. I mean in terms of preparation the swiss is the best little prepper country out there. |
