If an Uber driver is carrying concealed or has the gun concealed within the vehicle (as is legal in many, many states), there would be no way to know they’re carrying unless the need for the weapon arises. This is why Uber couldn’t enforce this without searches of the person and vehicle. In most states, the only place…

Not to mention that banning something doesn’t make it magically disappear. The only people who would follow that rule are law abiding citizens.

I came here to say the same. Since they are just a ‘tech company’ and not the employer, I do not think they have a right to dictate much of anything to anybody.

Only problem is they can’t do it. Since you’re not an employee, they cannot control what goes on in a vehicle they don’t own. Plus, a lot of states have laws that would circumvent this anyway. While nice in theory, it’s not going to hold up.

Corporate liability move, nothing to do with safety. CCW holders are gonna keep carrying, because how would Uber ever enforce this rule?
