Taxi Cab Drivers

[audihenry]

Armed taxi drivers. You have to be freakin' kidding, right? I'd rather see armed dishwashers than armed cabbies. I did some work at a cab yard recently. Somalis, Croats, bottom of the barrel Ruskies, Yeminis, yeah, those guys have great American morals and CCW skills.

Sorry you feel that way, der Fuhrer...

So far as I am aware, no intervening cases apply, and no amendments to the Penal Code have changed Marotta.

Unless something has changed of which I am unaware, taxi drivers are exempt from 12025 and 12031(h), while working.

Is that a judge's written opinion? If so, there's some pretty strong personal opinion thrown in there.

The other thing is, while I am in favor of allowing ALL hardworking (or retired!) citizens the right to protect themselves, a cabbie has the tactical disadvantage as he or she is situated in FRONT of his / her potential attacker, and he / she is facing AWAY from the threat. Not exactly the best position to be in, if you are about to be jakt.
