Yet Michael never carries a gun on him until he becomes a "made man". In fact before the hit Clemenza has to show him how to handle a gun. If Freddo had a gun on him before, this would suggest that he was in the muscle end of the family.
Michael never carried a gun on him 'before' the McClusky/Sollozo hit because Michael didn't want anything to do with the family business and obviously was not involved up until Vito was shot. Fredo on the other hand was involved and taken into the family business from the onset.
