Of course, I hope the company has a seasoned Second Amendment attorney on retainer.
The Uber/Lyft driver I want is the one who won’t freak out if I’m carrying in his ride. And who won’t rat me out if I’m in a blue city or state.
I still pick up hitchhikers and I am right-handed, I usually put my pistol on the left side of my seat but I have never had confidence in that.
Having a gun helps but it isn’t necessarily 100% when dealing with a passenger.
The great advantage about being arms is being incognito about it.
I hope so too.
Exactly who is the passenger going to feel protected from by opting for an armed driver ? Pay a premium for exactly what ?
“This is a great idea.”
A recent Gallup Poll found that 60 percent of Americans own guns in order to feel safe. According to the FBI and the CDC, roughly 18% of people that have guns are felons. (1 in 5) Another group owning guns are drug users like alcoholics, and recreational drug users. There is no way to determine the stability of these people. But as the number of people that shouldn’t have them grows as the loose cannons come out of the wood work, all you can do is hope the advertised gun on board information is being handled by a responsible and learned gun owner doing the driving. It’s obviously got some good and bad to the situation.

If it is not a ride to the airport, I never leave home without it.
The $50 base rate will doom this enterprise to failure.
I don’t mind a surcharge for an armed driver, but a base rate that’s double what Lyft or Uber charges is not competitive.
