Arizona – -(Ammoland.com)- Uber has banned any carry of firearms in vehicles using its app, though the policy has no force of law. The only penalty for violating the policy is that a user may lose the ability to use Uber software in the future. From ap.org:

Uber Technologies says it is banning firearms of any kind during rides arranged through the Uber platform, and drivers or riders who violate the rule may lose access to the platform. The rules also apply to Uber’s affiliates.

This happens only two months after an armed Uber driver stopped a mass shooting in Chicago, and was widely hailed as saving lives.
