Just weeks after ride share service UBER declared a firearms ban inside their vehicles, one Clear Water, Florida, driver shot a passenger who was attacking and choking him.<\/p>\n

The assailant, 60-year-old Marc Gregory Mermel, must have gotten the memo and figured the driver, 74-year-old Steven Rayow, would be an easy target. Little did the assailant know, however, that Rayow disregarded the company\u2019s no-gun policy, and was armed with a pistol.<\/p>\n

After an argument broke out between the two men, Mermel choked Rayow, \u201cwho pulled a gun from his waistband.\u201d In the ensuing altercation, Mermel was shot in the foot.<\/p>\n

But this is far from the first time a gun used against or by an UBER driver. Two months before the new policy was enacted, one UBER driver used his conceal carry weapon to thwart an attempted mass shooting in Chicago, and shortly after the new policy was set in motion another UBER driver was robbed at gunpoint. <\/p>\n

The reality is, we live in a world filled with guns, and paperwork doesn\u2019t deter criminals from disobeying the law. UBER\u2019s new no-gun stance may be good for business, but it clearly isn\u2019t good for the wellbeing of their drivers.<\/p>\n
