I might add that you do frequently see Swiss police stopping uniformed people with guns, asking to see their orders. Which for Americans look something like a computer generated "Jury Summons" with a red border. A lot of the people going to their weekend training center carry the orders in their jacket breast pocket with part of the form showing. I think very few outsiders realize how armed Switzerland is. It looks like New Zealand, except that every tenth farm shed is actually an armored gun emplacement designed to look like it's built out of wood rather than steel and concrete. Their air bases are built into the mountains. Only a runway which extends from the blast-proof doors out into the forest hints at what can't be seen. Every home or apartment building is required to have a bomb shelter with serious 1.5 ton steel doors. It's a unique place with odd cultural contrasts that are unlike any other nation. .
