Definitely agree but times change.

I think I may have read somewhere also that ex serviceman (although no such thing really exists there as they are all virtually reservists until too old) no longer get to keep their weapons on disband. Could be wrong. Mind you the cost of writing off a K31 in days gone by probably doesn't compare with modern arms costs.

I try to prick my ears up for any news items re Switzerland.

Also jealous of their range facilities. Culture much different to ours in terms of our PC nanny state I imagine.
