Narrative:
After departing for home field; the landing gear failed to raise. When within range I called unicom; advised the attendant of the situation; and asked him to stay on duty to visually verify that my gear was down. When I was adjacent to the terminal; he verified that the gear was in fact down. I had a green gear down light and with visual confirmation I landed the airplane. I felt the wheels on the pavement and immediately the airplane was on its belly. I shut everything down and got out. The airport attendant had closed the runway and met me at the airplane. He called a tow and we got the airplane back on its wheels and towed it to the hangar. It's worth noting that after being serviced [earlier this year]; the gear had failed to raise as I departed for home. I returned to the shop and they worked on the squat switch for several hours before releasing it. I had not had any more issues until this incident.
