At the Federal Shooting Festival in Aarau, I noticed the large number of weapons stored completely unsecured and unguarded. When I asked the organizing committee whether this posed a security risk, they denied it. Each shooter kept their weapon in their own custody at all times. It became clear to me that the only way to prove the opposite was by testing it. My colleague Bähram Alagheband then filmed me with a hidden camera pretending to steal several weapons at the shooting festival.
