Another dangerous business. I would include Uber too. Why don't the drivers carry a defensive weapon blows my mind!
I can think of three reasons why someone doesn't carry a defensive item with them.
1-It is illegal to do so.
2-It is against their employment policies and can result in their termination with loss of income.
3-They are sheep who think they won't ever need it, are afraid of guns, or some other personal issue.
I don't understand #3 at all.
#1 and #2 are easy to understand. We've all got to eat and pay other bills and there are relatively few employers who don't ban guns for their employees. A small number with bans may look the other way. But for many, getting caught with a gun on the job is to likely lose that job.
