The boys with guns are most probably soldiers on leave. In the IDF combat soldiers are issued a personal weapon, which they must carry with them at all times (even when goingto the loo). When on leave, they can either lock it in a safe or take it with them. They carry the gun more out of fear that it may be stolen than anything else (common belief has it that you can be sentenced for up to 7 years for loosing your gun).
