Lady.hawke Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Why no one invades Switzerland Just dropping by with this to ponder. At one time I think I heard that every Swiss citizen was required to own and learn how to use a weapon. I do not know if that is true or not - but it may explain the very low crime rate. It makes sense. Food for thought, and all the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimm74 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 "The key to freedom is the ability of one to defend themselves." I am not a gun owner, but I fully support every citizen to own firearms in any capacity they see fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furd Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 (edited) No one invades Switzerland because it has a history of neutrality, it does not have significant natural resources and it is a worldwide banking center. It does not have a standing army, which is a stronger deterrent than an armed populance with little militray training The crime rate is low in Switzerland largely because its a prosperous nation with few socio-economic issues when compared to other industrialized nations. Citizens are mandated to keep a gun in their home. While this could have an effect on home invasions, its not going to have an effect on other crimes. Any suggestion that Swiss policies in this regard should be used as a model for American policy is silly.

And Hitler didn't invade Switzerland for 2 reasons: The Swiss had all the money, and getting into Switzerland with ground troops would have been impossible based on the Swiss Army's entrenchment in and knowledge of the Swiss mountains.
