I don't see how it's really ironic. Michael Moore's the guy with the stated opinions on gun violence, not his bodyguard. If he asked the guy to carry the weapon or knew about it and condoned it, that'd be one thing, but if the guy was just carrying then me. Tempest in a teapot, really.
And despite the fact that Michael Moore is an ideologue and a hypocrite (not for this - for other reasons I won't go into here), I don't think that necessarily detracts from the validity of some of the points he makes in his movies.
