this is a picture of Mayor of Jerusalem, Nir Barkat, walking the streets of the city (he was near Shuafat at the time) carrying his licensed Glock gun converted to a carbine rifle... after some concern that Batman was packing unlicensed heat, Barkat's office released a photo of Barkat's gun license.

On the one hand it is cool that Barkat, the mayor, aka Batman, will show himself like this and portray a tough image. On the other hand it is a bit terrifying that this has become necessary..
