Q. I saw on Shabbat in our shul that some of the security guards (religious) were getting an Aliya on the Torah while they were carryng their weapon. Is that permitted?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit’a opinion is that, if it is needed for complying with the security of the shul, it is permitted, however it is best if they are kept covered.
