Well if this is such a bad move and people are so unhappy about it the market will take care of it right?


We live in a country of pussies. It's a great business move.

It's funny how some of you guys think this should be the Wild West where everyone carries guns all the time. Things like the Charleston shooting probably will still happen. It's called being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Do you honestly think those old church ladies would have gone into "action movie mode" like so many of you fantasize about?

Lol @ Uber for thinking criminals give a shite about gun free zones.

Oh if the Uber driver spots your concealed gun, you're doing it wrong.

I'll never understand the minds of people who think making something "gun free" will actually prevent crime.

Poor Uber drivers just became targets.

Nice job!!

It's been a game changing company, especially in places like baton rouge.

It is so much better than taking a taxi.

Holy. Shite.

Go back to bed or check your far-right, tin foil hat agenda at the door grandpa. Private business that can do as they please. There's absolutely nothing unconstitutional about their rule. I don't see how some of you can praise the free enterprise system when a company institutes a conservative policy but criticize it when a company institutes a liberal one. Their freedom of private enterprise is only acceptable when companies have policies that agree with your political beliefs, amirite?

If you don't like it, don't use Uber. The rest of us will.

LOL
99% of uber drivers didn't carry guns to begin with.
Criminals that are dumb enough to pull guns on people aren't the kin to be using smart phones to get uber rides.
If they do its easy to find their identity.
Über drivers carry no cash so why rob them?

Yep. You will get down votes but you're right. The kid in South Carolina's first choice of targets was a College but security, in other words, people with guns, was too tight. So he picked a Church, a place he knew there were no guns.

As if I didn't have enough reasons to not use the car service already.

I highly doubt most Uber drivers were carrying guns. I also doubt most riders were either.

Besides, it's not like Uber drivers are an easy target considering: 1) They don't carry cash and 2) You request an Uber (or Lyft) using an easily traceable phone.

It would be like robbing a cashless bank but having to scan your ID before entering the bank.

Robbery for one. Yes I know you pay for Uber on pay pal but most criminals are not very smart.

That's just silly.

They're not clinically retarded. They know what they're doing.

GTFO of here with that truth. This thread is no place for that. I came in here wanting a pro-gun, anti-liberal circle jerk, and your post ruined that for me.
