On a car, these things are usually switched on a by a relay. The reason they do this is to prevent the contacts welding themselves closed (there is too much current going through the tiny switches on steering wheels or steering columns). So the live feed is through a fuse then through the heavier contacts of a relay. The tiny horn switches (on a car steering wheel) will connect(energise) the relay coil to earth switching on the horn. A heavier push button momentary switch like you would find on an old motor bike will be fine if you don't want to wire in a relay.
