Protect what Matters

Yes, there are legal regulations in Switzerland regarding the safe storage of firearms. According to Article 28, paragraph 2 of the Swiss Weapons Act (WG), firearms and ammunition must be stored in such a way that they cannot fall into the hands of unauthorized persons. Specifically, this means: Firearms should be stored in a lockable gun cabinet, safe, or an equivalently secured container.

More information on the legal basis can be found on the official website of the Swiss Confederation at SR 514.54 - Federal Act of 20 June 1997 on Weapons, Weapon Accessories and Ammunition (Weapons Act, WG) | Fedlex

This is an absolute no-go. Storing a loaded firearm unsecured is not only strictly prohibited, but you also endanger the safety of your family, friends, and children.

The reality shows: The risk of an accident with an unsecured firearm is significantly higher than the likelihood of a burglary where you would need to use the weapon. Especially in households with children or visitors, a loaded, unsecured firearm can have devastating consequences.

Paladin safes with fingerprint scanners offer you a legally compliant and quick access solution without putting the safety of your loved ones at risk. Unlocked in a fraction of a second, only by you – safe and reliable.

Please note: Firearms and ammunition must always be stored separately.

The acquisition of a firearm for self-defense is not a recommended solution in Switzerland – on the contrary: firearms should only be used for protection by trained professionals with appropriate education, such as in the military or police. Without proper training, the risk of accidents, wrong decisions, or escalations increases significantly – especially in stressful situations like a burglary.

If you want to effectively protect yourself and your family, contact your local authorities or the cantonal police. They often offer advice and prevention tips for burglary protection, such as alarm systems, security measures for windows and doors, or behavioral guidelines in emergencies.

Paladin gun safes were specifically developed by security professionals for police and military units. They provide secure and legally compliant storage of firearms while allowing lightning-fast access in emergencies – ideal for situations where every second counts.

However, sports shooters, firearms collectors, and members of the Swiss army reserve also rely on Paladin safes to keep their weapons childproof and protected from unauthorized access.
