Tom Dear Tom, thak you for your nice words. I think I have to install a webcam to show you all that I have to clean it daily due to the fact my workshop is integrated in our western store :-) Quote Rolf Menzi www.western-wear.ch Switzerland
Members WilliamWood Posted September 22, 2008 Members Report Posted September 22, 2008 WOW!! I'm impressed!!! Wonderful shop. But a question - According to all the Anti-Gun crusading fanatics in our wonderful Congress here in the USA, Europeans generally are forbidden to own pistols. They mouth that so-called "fact" as the primary reason all of Europe has a low crime rate. How does the SASS chapters there function? And, I didn't know there was much interest in our Old West over there. Again, sincere compliments on your shop. It's an inspirational place indeed. Quote

It's an inspirational place indeed.Hi William, In Switzerland we are allowed to buy and own weapons (even pistols) but we have to go through a process and we have to register all the weapons (except the very old ones). 90% of the Swiss males even have a automatic military gun at home incl. ammos and our crimerate is not higher then in other European countries. B.t.w. I have no clue on the crime rate in Europe compared with the US. SASS: In Switzerland we have the OWSSS -> www.owsss.ch (Old west shooting society Switzerland). Some of our members are also member of the SASS. The SASS chapters are not valid in Switzerland, but we have similar ones ;-)Best regads RolfHi Rolf welcom to the form, that store is just great i love it, DonHi Don, thank you!
