Uber shooting on I-25

[BPTactical]

Why would you:
A- Allow a complete stranger in your vehicle?
B- Get into a vehicle with a complete stranger?

And don't give me the "Well its the same if you get into a Taxi, airplane, bus, train etc.." line
It isn't the same

I agree. I have used Uber once, and that when the repair shop called one for me to take a 5 minute ride back to my office in the middle of the day. And guess what, I violated their weapons policy...

So sounds like pretty much the same. Full time Uber drivers have those same requirements. Part time drivers are supposed to get an endorsement on their personal insurance (which not many carriers provide) or get insurance through Uber. I'm sure it's much like pizza delivery drivers where they are supposed to have insurance, but whether they do or not could be up in the air. Getting into the car with a taxi driver is still getting into the car with a stranger. As we've established thousands of times on this website already, laws don't stop criminals from doing criminal things.
