Reply To: Every rebbe, every gabbai – get a pistol

If you have a gun, it sounds like a mitzva to keep in a safe place and know how to use responsibly (fence on the roof, indirect damage ). So, you should presume that a Rav who is packing, is packing it kosher. If the Rav is not, then he needs to be fired for the aveirah of not being careful based on a random inspection asking to demonstrate his skills.
