DailyCaller.com: "Uber Quietly Changes Its Gun Policy" (June 19, 2015)
http://www.dailycaller.com/2015/06/19/u ... gun-policy
Whatever. A private business can do whatever it chooses to do. But, I suspect that the criminals that Uber desires to exclude aren't going to give a rats butt about any policy. And, what is Uber going to do about the firearms they see or imagine: pull over and demand the armed individual vacate the vehicle? I shudder at the imperiousness, I say!
More importantly, by prohibiting its drivers from being armed, too, fewer drivers will choose to work for Uber (Pizza Hut experienced this when it prohibited its drivers similarly). And, the corporate death spiral begins. I can't say I care, though. I didn't even know what an Uber was until a few months ago. It should focus on its business, not the wonderings of its loudest complainers.
On one hand I think it's BS but on the other it's one of those civil liability things.
Many if not all most employers expressly forbid firearms on the premises to include the parking lot. If an employee were to go postal, even to shoot one person, the ambulance chasing attorneys would have a field day if that company were found not have a policy in black and white forbidding firearms on the premises.
People secretly ignore that policy and upper management secretly knows it and doesn't really care as long as it stays below thier radar.
As far as Uber goes, how will they know if thier no guns policy is being complied with if the guns are concealed?
Report what??
Again, the key word being concealed.
con·cealed
kənˈsēld/
adjective
kept secret; hidden.
"a concealed weapon"

bulge (bŭlj)
n.
1. A protruding part; an outward curve or swelling.
Applies to amateurs.
A compact handgun with a decent concealment holster and the garments to go with it worn by someone who knows what they are doing will go undetected. It's not that hard, really.
Besides, like I said before, those no-gunz policies are more of a legal CYA measure than an actual attempt to keep people from being armed.
Only some Barney Fife numbskull is actually going to go out of his way to actually look for bulges or whatever.

DailyCaller.com: "Ex-CNN reporter hailed as hero after fatally shooting motel room armed robber [VIDEO]" (July 1, 2015)
http://www.dailycaller.com/2015/07/01/e ... bber-video
THIS is why ordinary people need to (and should) use firearms to protect themselves, and their families and friends. The bad guy died. No bystanders were injured. The victims will live to see another day. All is well.
My only question is why two former CNN reporters were staying at a Motel 6 in Albuquerque, N.M.

Location, Location, Location...
The greatest equalizer to find
a safe harbor to exist is
location, location,
location;
and that is why I
ain't moving to
a big
city of crime,
anytime soon.
And that is why the only bar
I go to in commuting
distance to dance
with all the wild
ones is heavily
populated by
armed
policemen
and scores of
security guards
from inside to
outside in the
parking lot to
PROTECT ALL.
I live in an area
that hasn't been
robbed in decades;
Location, Location, Location;
The best gun of all to defend oneself as safe..
BUT I lock the doors; just to be safe; and become
a martial artist like Bruce Lee and MORE; simply
as real human fearless is all innate instinctual
and intuitive in confidence of innately
instinctually and intuitively having
the confidence to not
even have to
think to
KICK BUTT,
IF NECESSARY.
I WILL NEVER LIKELY have to kick butt;
as I use the organ situated squarely
between my ears to avoid that;
however, fearless is all innate
instinctual and intuitive and
that's the real prize
of 'being Bruce Lee';
when fear becomes
something for
others
and
NOT
ME
WITH SMILES
AND GROWLS AND
ROARS OF HUMAN
LION SAME iNOW
equalizer iS mE!..
