From: Prof. Levine [quoting a web page that cites the Tzitz Eliezer -micha]
> However with regards to a soldier or policeman who carries a gun on him at

Why a piece of clothing and not an essential piece of equipment that he
needs for his job, just like a cell phone and pager is essential for an
ambulance driver?
