Original Note:
IDF both on and off duty forces must have a weapon on hand at all times as a principle of readiness. It is unsafe to carry a loaded weapon even if not chambered with a round or with a safety feature in place. This is widely considered as good practice. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2016-02-22/ty-article/.premium/idf-chief-all-off-duty-soldiers-must-carry-their-weapons/0000017f-db40-d3ff-a7ff-fbe087b70000 https://www.nssf.org/safety/rules-firearms-safety/#:~:text=For%20example%2C%20many%20handgun%20manufacturers,action%20revolvers%20or%20semiautomatic%20pistols.
