    When I was young, my Dad simply didn’t have ammunition in the house. If we went to the range or were going hunting, we’d buy ammo on the way and we’d shoot it all or give away whatever was left over to another shooter.

      That’s what it’s like here in Switzerland.

      You’re allowed to store guns at home but ammo is heavily restricted.

        No, what you say is not correct. You probably think about military service rifles only. But you can buy (and stash a lot of) ammunition as a civilian. The seller only had to make some basic background checks. I think recently, they made it a bit harder and you have also to prove you own the corresponding firearm?
