I  have  not  looked  recently  into the question of carrying weapons on
Shabbat, but I remember that Ribbi Me'ir would  permit  the  wearing  of
weapons  on the Shabbat even when there was not a question of preserving
life.  The case of a soldier wearing a rifle on Shabbat for the sake  of
preserving lives from terrorists is probably not so hard.
