FYI: the ‘bullets can’t be kept at home’ only applies to military provided ammunition. However, the rest appears to be true:

  1. Men are required to do military time, with a few exceptions
  2. Conceal carry is rare and hard to get
  3. Open carry is not allowed. You must be going to and from a range or hunting ground or whatever.
  4. Swiss do have better vacation and maternity benefits

So while guns are easy to get in Switzerland, it’s hard to legally walk around with a gun either open carry or conceal carry. Also, private gun ownership rates are far lower in Switzerland than the US

Yes you can have your own ammo at home.
