Summary: no problem carrying inside the Old City

Just an aside: carrying on Shabbos at the Western Wall would never
be a problem, since it's inside the Old City (a walled city) and
therefore permitted. Now, is a gun muktzah?

(I would think not, since although using it would be performing
melachah, it could/would only be used in cases of pikuach nefesh.
Therefore, it should be non-muktzah by definition.)
