Ruger is in Prescott AZ. Constitutional Carry rocks. But then so would a mandate that each home is armed. Isn’t that why Switzerland was not invaded during WWII? Every home with a male over 18 had to have at least one machine gun?

Yup and the Swiss make very good guns like SIG Sauer. Just across the border in northern Italy, Beretta was founded in 1526 AD. The company has been around for 483 years!

The Swiss can shoot very well.

Another small country with guns and sharpshooters is Finland. The Swiss and Finns are like Tennessee volunteers - known as great riflemen and sharpshooters.

The Soviet Union tried to invade Finland in 1939 and the Finns gave the Russians a beating. Incredible considering how small Finland is. They make good guns like Valmet. The war lasted 105 days and the Finns were killing about 10,000 Russians a day versus 250 a day for the Finns. I read this and almost could not believe it.

It was one of the most unknown and brutal wars in history. Largely fought in freezing conditions. In was ca;;ed The Winter War.
