Uber now has a new clear no weapons policy (https://www.uber.com/legal/firearms-prohibition-policy), which applies to drivers and passengers, regardless of what local laws otherwise allow. Uber's policy recently changed. Why did it change? It changed because in April an Uber driver in was legally armed (in Chicago!), and shot a young man who was wrongfully shooting at several people. The driver probably saved several lives, maybe even his own. He will not be charged, since he was acting in defense of life, his own and others.

Defense of life? That is something Uber cannot stand. They want to feel safe and comfortable. I'm sure those poor people in Chicago would have been much more comfortable getting shot while they wait for law enforcement to arrive and protect them. Good luck, Uber drivers and riders, feeling safe in your portable "gun-free zones" ....until someone intent on doing violence to your life and liberty comes along. Just another sign of the inverted mentality we call the Code of Death.

Lyft and Sidecar have similar policies:
