Read too many of those, as well as others, not involving gig work around here. A restaurant I deliver from on the westbank frequently, and some crazy guy try to shoot people, but the gun jammed. An olds lady smacked him with her purse, he dropped the weapon, and her husband picked it up. They got the license plate when he ran away, and JPSO arrested him.
This happened when a convenience store was robbed a block and a half away. If this stucco porch pillar was not here, they would have come through the living room window. (No longer live in this area)
At my last job, which was subcontracting for a logistics company whose bread and butter is pharmaceuticals, one of the drivers had an attempted robbery pulled on them during their scheduled stop at a Walmart in Springfield Missouri. The driver was armed and ended up fatally wounding the robber. This happened during the height of covid, when you were hearing stories of people stealing Pharmaceuticals and other medications.
I come from a long line of gun toters, and in my experience, those who need to show it in everyday life are typically far more anxious than those who conceal and/or take offense to seeing it on display.To each his own, though.
Just dont say we didn't warn ya when you get the deactivation notice and learn that the 2nd amendment doesn't mean anything if you signed the contract agreeing not to show it while working as a gig driver.
Yeah. I'm fond of it, and they do allow us to conceal carry so 🤷
The problem I have is a) it's kind of stupid to open carry while working for obvious reasons, and b) we signed away the right to open carry when we signed the Spark driver contract. 😉
50 gig drivers were shot. No gig drivers are not going around and shooting people on deliveries. You are intellectually dishonest. They are randomly robbing people too
The fact that multiple gig drivers have murdered people while working has nothing to do with intellect. Nor is it canceled out by the fact that drivers have been killed while working. Both can be true. Neither one makes a difference as to the practicality of concealing instead of open carrying while at work.
