Thank you for clearing that. I was getting concerned about stupid laws.
Today we see so many stupid things around the world, that it is not difficult to believe quite outrageous claims.
In Switzerland you can not own a folding knife that can be opened with just one hand (unless you are one-handed), so possession of a spring loaded knife of "butterfly knife" can get you in trouble. Yet, you can have ordinary bread knife (that doesn't even need to be unfolded one-handed or otherwise) and each single male adult in Switzerland that completed the compulsory army service has automatic rifle (with live ammunition!) stored at home.
In Germany possession of brass knuckles or nunchaku (simple farmer instrument from Japan - small flail for rice) can get you in big trouble.
