You can have the truck , just let me get my bag and lunch box first

Which of course the robber wouldn't allow you to do.

Ok. Yeah Illinois just passed conceal carry but the list of places you can carry is very short.

Yeah and there are far fewer even interested in Illinois than first thought.

I'd protect myself by handing them the keys.

I let them have the truck I don't know about the keys as I wouldn't be hanging around long enough to give them to them.

Also most criminal that hold up people aren't going to shoot you especially in broad daylight. If they do they were going to do it whether or not you gave them what they wanted.

 

[SCV good to go sir.]

Last week when I was covering a nice residential area, one of the residents told me that they're seeing an increase in theft with driver released packages in their neighborhood. And I remember last peak I'd get a message almost everyday about robbers in cars following drivers and stealing packages. I'm surprised drivers aren't targeted more often.

Having said that I wouldn't be opposed at all with allowing UPS drivers to be armed. I'd happily memorize 25 more DOK questions and tolerate PCMs about gun safety for the privilege of carrying a firearm.

Give them whatever they want. You are on the clock until you are relieved of duty, rescued, however you want to say it. You're going to get your eight.

 

[sailfish]

Some of the lowest life scum you can find. They should just do everyone a favor and hold themselves at gunpoint first.

 

[soberups]

By complying with the criminal as the driver in the news report did. Bringing a weapon to work is a guaranteed way to be terminated.

Under what contract article?

 

[soberups]

Piss poor as in the conceal and carry law is nowhere near as relevant as if should be. Open conceal and carry should be permitted in all states at all time.

"Open concealed carry" is an oxymoron. You cant openly carry a concealed handgun.

I do agree with the general point of your post, however. Self defense is a fundamental human right.

 

[Indecisi0n]

The women in the article mentioned that only women could get pushed into the back of the truck and rapped. Why not men to?

 

[Packmule]

You can COMPLY all you want.

Still won't save your life if the gunman starts shooting.

I've never violated the policy, but I've long considered gun free policies to be the stupidest thinking there is. Keep hoping for federal legislation that overrides all such policies.

That's what I do, Hell I will even teach them to drive it.
I'm not going to get shoved into my truck, I will be out of it, or on my way out if someone is jumping in. They are not there to rape, they are there for quick turn around items.
They would prefer as little human contact as necessary, Just hand them the keys, and leave the area.

It's just not fare is it

Happens in my town all the time or should I say has happened. If you're smart, regardless of the rules of ups or the law itself, if your life is or could be in danger, protect yourself accordingly.

It's free?

 

[upsman68]

What do you do when a person on area shoves a gun in your face and wants your package car?


"Give them the keys, leave the area, and notify a supervisor"

Think about it.

UPS drivers are basically GUN FREE ZONES.

And we know how well GUN FREE ZONES protect people from bad guys, don't we?

 

[Turdferguson]

It's free?

Is it Austin?

 

[The Driver]

It's free?

If you play your cards right.
