Uber just set themselves up for competition that PROMOTES armed drivers.

Time for a pro-gun group to launch a counter-service.
The free market will take care of itself.

This comes just two months after a lawfully-armed Uber driver in Chicago used his personal handgun to stop a gunmans attack.In other words, two months after a demonstration of why a driver's having a gun is an awesome idea, they ban them. Liberalism is dementia.

They going to loose a lot of business in Chicago, Baltimore and other "areas"
I guess if Uber is valued at $50 Billion...some budding entrepreneur will start up a CCW taxi app.
To: aimhigh
Oh well, they just lost a ton of potential people who were considering getting aboard as their drivers, maybe even some semi-retired types from FR. Rush had a gent call in doing this and loving it the other day...

Uber is stupid. I would now not work for them, if I were of a mind to do that kind of work, which I am not.

Nearly all cab/taxi drivers carry guns.
They do this for very good reasons. Lots of cab drivers over the years ended up injured, stabbed, beat up and stomped into the ground while trying to make living.

Uber joins Lyft in prohibiting firearms for drivers, riders Non of their G** D@amned business. They don't get to tell Free Americans how to behave or live their lives.
To: aimhigh
This is probably a quid pro quo maneuver to curry favor or limit liability with the PTB. Uber just lost a California Labor Commission ruling that declared Uber drivers are employees not independent contractors. The ruling opens the door for the IRS to reclassify them federally and makes Uber liable for all sorts of taxes and insurance costs.

So much for Uber’s claim that their drivers are independent contractors, not employees.

One more reason not to become an Uber driver.
Uber seems shady to me anyway.
To: aimhigh
To me, this is Uber putting yet another nail into the employee vs independent contractor coffin. One more ‘rule’ determining the workplace that will eventually find a accomidating judge and Uber suddenly finding itself owing back wages and of course, all that payroll tax.

Uber the company isn’t anything other than a bunch of techs operating a runtime database. Gotta keep that on perspective.

Wait a minute. If I understand the premise of both Uber and Lift, the drivers are not employees and use their own vehicles.
If so, this rule is going to be pretty darn hard to inforce. At least before the fact. After the fact,it ain’t gonna make any difference anyway.
If I was driving for either, I for Damn sure would not change my habit.

Well. I guess if someone wants to rob someone, AND have a getaway car call Uber.
To: aimhigh
Uber just announced to every dirtbag criminal, “Hey, come rob our drivers.....they’re unarmed!”
To: aimhigh
Indeed every car jacker knows where the gun free zone is cash to ensue.
