Swiss law changed recently?

Just talked to a Swiss expat here who said that he keeps up to date with the Swiss law. He mentioned that concealed carry licences have become unobtainable over the last two years there. One can still have assualt rifles and carry them openly but concealed carry is out (not sure about open carry).

Apparently, violent immigrants (?) were mentioned as the cause/excuse for the change. In that guy's opinion few Swiss are concerned about the change and little opposition to it existed. He thinks their culture will lose its armed aspect shortly.

Anyone with supporting or contradictory info on this topic?

I've read (but not confirmed) that the European Community urged a change. As you know, the EC is openly socialist.

Would like to hear more on that...we only talked briefly but EC was mentioned. I didn't know the Swiss joined...[/quote]


To my knowledge, the Swiss didn't join...
But as you know, Europe is a small continent. The Swiss do have to deal with their neighbors economically. The EC can put pressure on them.
Sort of like Cuomo, Clinton putting pressure on the gun manufacturers here.
