That's so freaking stupid. earned. Sheesh, it just is.
So if you find me shopping in your bodega and somehow discover that I am armed, you are free to ask me to leave. Period. End of story. That's where your rights begin and end as far as what I may be carrying at that moment.

That's like telling your spouse they are free to ask for a divorce if they catch you cheating and that's where their rights begin and end. Are you also OK with me banging your wife (as long as you don't catch me)?

It's certainly their right, but I doubt a guy that plans to rob them really cares. I doubt they'll abort the mission when the driver tells them they weren't supposed to have the gun.

Well isn't that the ultimate right when it comes to any relationship, whether to stay in it or leave?

As for my wife, just remember that I am armed. And a damned good shot as well.

On Wednesday, an Uber driver in Queens was robbed by a man who allegedly got in his car, pointed a rifle at him, and demanded his money.
This incident took place just two weeks after Uber formally changed its gun policy by banning drivers from possessing firearms for self-defense. It comes less than a week since Uber made that change public.
According to the New York Daily News, the Uber driver stopped for up a 22-year-old man “on 67th Ave. and Burns St. in Rego Park just after midnight.†The two negotiated a price then the man got in the car, only to allegedly point a rifle at the driver and demand all his money.
The driver handed over $60 and the 22-year-old suspect jumped out of the car and fled.
The driver was not injured in the incident and Uber says they are investigating.




Quite Ironic.
Way to go UBER !! Pathetic....

Now you understand why it was illegal to conceal carry in the 1800's.
They could not tell you to take your gun off before entering, if they never knew you had it.
Women were the worst offenders.

Which the law really isn't what is being discussed. What is being discussed is the outright disrespect for the rights of others while screaming for yours.

You forgot, you aren't aware. So she has the right to disrespect your marriage vows as long as you aren't aware of it? After all, that isn't illegal.

Uber is a bit different than traditional cab services where it is set more like a call-in (well through an app rather than call) rather than flagging. The driver just sees profile information and the time allotment and can select not to take the fare or if they do want to take it.

So does that mean people should bring guns in to places they are not authorized to do so with or without the ccl?
