We haven't and we won't. Every single home in Switzerland has a rifle

No it is not the GUNS that prevent crime. It is the education and
training that reduce crime. Those guns are properly stored too.

Yes, the fact that everybody knows every home is armed may act as a
deterrent to crimes against property - but those guns are NOT carried
and the general citizenry walking on the streets or driving in their
cars is NOT armed.
