Question

I serve in the Israel Police in the computer department and do not go out into the field, and I have been issued a gun by the police. Is it permissible according to Halacha to carry it on Shabbat? Thank you.

Answer

Hello,

In a place and time where there is no known danger, there is no permission to carry the gun.

In a situation where there is a concern for saving a life, the gun should be carried.
