statistically miles out of date. I believe it's much higher these days but of course I can't prove it
But, yeah, I'm probably slightly exaggerating. It's still brutally high for a developed mainland european country with "supposedly" civilised society. Like, it's 15 times higher than England.

Also, I'm not entirely sure about this (I'll grant you it does sound very odd) but a close friend who has lived in Geneva for about 15 years told me that it's classified as suicide if it's your own gun, hence the very odd stats. I'll admit that sounds like bollocks, but remember the Swiss are VERY odd.

Look badger, you can't be right about everything all the time
why don't you be the bigger man and just admit you're wrong about this.

I said I was exaggerating. Consider that one up for team Al.
Although, I'm genuinely interested if there is any truth in my edit.

Are you saying that shooting someone else with your own gun counts as suicide?
Or are you saying it's ONLY suicide if it's your own gun?

no, he said it was to do with whether or not you were shot with your own gun.
Like I said, sounds like bollocks but you can never tell with the Swiss
