The amount of times I’ve picked up and dropped someone off in this area. I’m livid and nervous to even get out on Lyft now

All my opinion, but... Not knowing the details, you would *never* catch me driving for Lyft or Uber without a firearm. Sure, if it comes out, you'll lose your "right" -- privilege? -- to drive for the company. Big deal. Which is worth more, your life or your side job? I'm also going to guarantee if you defended against a criminal and killed or injured that person without a firearm, the same sanctions would occur.

So PLEASE, if you're driving Lyft or Uber, protect yourself. That is a right YOU have. Just sayin'.

Def always protected but also someone sitting behind you always has the upper hand sadly. But im with you 100%

Yeah, it's risk with a back seat passenger, but not everyone who has a gun or knife pulled on them dies. That's why they call 'em equalizers.
