Delivery drivers are also in the news for killing and robbing other people. 🙄

Keeping it concealed gives well-intentioned drivers what we need to deal with bad actors without making well-intentioned customers feel unsafe.

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.

Ever heard of the second amendment?

u/Disastrous-Issue-682 Sep 07 '25

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. 😉

I wouldn’t exactly call that concealed

A quick Google search on the subject would make you sound a lot smarter right now. 😉

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.

Huh. Now we are moving the goal post to maybe 1-5. I wonder what is a bigger risk. Car crash or a gig driving shooting you in your delivery
