the swiss way

Interesting article, you have to hand it to them, a proud tradition along with a practical & sensible approach to firearm policy...different historical influences but food for thought all the same..

I'm lucky enuff to go shooting in Switzerland with my three old Swiss rifles from time to time. The family I stay with, until quite recently, had four generations of shooters under the one roof. The old man, aged 94, died the way he wanted, on a shooting range with his old rifle in his hands.

Look at the Thuner Feldschiessen on YT to see what 16,500 dedicated shooters can get up to over a weekend.

The sight of rifle 400 targets - 200 over 200 on a double-decker firing line - each with your own personal TV shot-spotter and automatic scorer - has to be seen to be believed.

Furriners like me [or you] are made VERY welcome, and if you are not careful you'll have a weekend you can't remember - AFTER the shooting, of course.

But, shooting comes first.

If any of you want toget a taste of what shooting Swiss-style is like, get on to any of the lads over on the VCRAI site url]www.vcrai.com[/url where there are a few with Swiss guns of one kind or another, and recently, another two also joined me on www.swissrifles.com.

PS - GP11 is the Swiss-made military surplus ammunition, used also for all match rifle shooting where the very expensive RUAG Target Match ammunition is not permitted.

No I actually hadnt heard of this ,and I doubt very many others outside finance and international banking would have either..As it is more a US/Switzerland banking affair and story.
BUT it certainly does show that there is NO pussyfooting around and niceities in either the US or Switzerland when it comes to bank fraud!!
Oh that we could have sicced somthing like IRS financial investigation units on some of our shower!!:mad:
