Here's another one that just happened. Go Uber drivers!

Here you go!"...This category is blocked: Weapons...."
Oh well, I'll have to read up on this one after shift.
GOOD!!! Too damn bad this does not start happening weekly. Of course Uber may fire him now. If they do I will let them know I will NEVER use their services again.
Here you go!

Let me see if I got this right?
I go through an extensive background check to carry my gun.
And you feel unsafe with Me?
Will you pass the Uber background check?

This is so stupid. Why would a passenger feel safer knowing that in the event of an emergency like the ones described, their driver would not be able to respond with anything more than harsh language and maybe a tire iron?
If I were an uber driver I would most definitely be armed. I lived in nyc for awhile and taxi drivers were robbed at gunpoint on the regular.
