Uber driver here. What should I carry to protect myself during my trips? The company says that drivers shouldn't carry a gun but I ain't putting my life in the line. I was thinking about a .38 special subnose, since semiautos will go out of battery if I press the muzzle against someone in the confined space of a car.
Really, any pocket gun should be fine if you're comfortable shooting it.
Also, can Uber drivers just not pick up black customers?

Uber got bought out by Ford. Stop driving for them, you'll be replaced by a self-driving Taurus soon, anyways.

From my experience, black people don't trust black people.

This. Had a black buddy who said that when it came to medical shit and whatnot, some blacks wouldn't listen to black doctors but if a white/asian guy said it then it was gospel.

Ideally, a gun for "car driver carry" should be in a shoulder holster, since that's the easiest place to draw from.

>any pocket gun
A pocket gun is about the hardest to draw while you are seated in a car.

Dual 6" 1911s in shoulder holsters, with aviator sunglasses and grandpa jacket.

a revolver, in case you have to fire it in close quarters and are wrestling around with somebody so it wont jam. Carry in a shoulder or anlke holster
also keep something like a glock 19 in the glove box

Honestly if someone was planning on robbing you it wouldnt matter. Any time i use uber i sit behind the driver so i can stab them in the neck if they try to take me off course or rob me. Always hae my knife ready in my hand too just in case they are indeed a psycho. I couldve killed 100's of uber drivers by now and theres nothing they could have done about it.
Only reason i dont carry my gun is because my job makes it a pain in the ass

if you get a revolver, remember you're in an enclosed space, watch for the gas venting out the sides.
oh, and the EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I'm a driver for a rival company. I carry a Glock 26 in a IWB holster while I'm working usually. I'm not necessarily worried about the passengers, it's the people out in the streets that are unpredictable.

The taxi union in Austin?

most cars have glove boxes
and somebody can jump over the back seat and try to attack the driver

686 is still pretty large with the snub nose. Might want to look into a chiappa 200ds because they are pretty light and have a really flat profile for a revolver and the six o'clock position make 357 a little more comfortable out of that short barrel. Can't go wrong with something like a smith model 36 or 342 though either.

Gun will do you no good as a driver. There is nothing you can do about a passenger sitting behind you and pulling the trigger. You'll never see it coming.
