The possession of a personal firearm stems from the inherent right to self-defense and the biblical commandment ‘Do not stand idly by the blood of your neighbor.’ Consequently, it demands of the carrier a high standard of professional and moral conduct, alongside diverse obligations.

This text regulates the halachic commitment of firearm carriers: ranging from the right to self-defense in Jewish tradition and Law, to the duty of proficiency and training, and further to the complexities of carrying weapons on Shabbat and within the synagogue.

This is an essential guide for any licensed firearm carrier seeking to operate in adherence to Halakha, with a strict commitment to the preservation of life and the moral values of the Torah.”
