The Swiss still close off roads periodically for marksman competitions. They take great pride in not only having the arms available, but being able to use them well.

When Switzerland was being threatened with invasion by the nazis during WWII, a German official told a Swiss official that the Swiss were out numbered 7 to 1. The Swiss official just sniffed and said, "So, each Swiss citizen will have to fire 7 shots."

Actually the exchange went something like this:

Nazi General to Swiss General: "What will you do when we send a million men marching across your border?"

Swiss General to Nazi General: "We will all shoot twice and go home."
