Does this man’s employer ban CCW?

The Akron Beacon Journal is reporting that a cabdriver was robbed and his vehicle was stolen early Wednesday at Chalker and Dalton streets in North Akron. According to the story, the incident occurred shortly after 4 a.m.

    The Yellow Cab Co. driver told police he picked up a man in the 700 block of Carlysle Street. The man asked the driver to take him to Chalker Street. When they reached their stop, the passenger pulled a gun and ordered the driver to leave the cab and walk behind a house, police said.

After taking the cabby's money, the gunman fled in the cab, which was later recovered.

Upon reading this story, some questions jump to mind:

  • Does the Yellow Cab Co. allow its driver employees to exercise their right to self-defense while engaging in this dangerous profession?
  • Even if they do, does Ohio's ridiculous "plain sight" car-carry requirement deter taxi drivers from exercising their right to self-protection?

    Obviously the criminal was undeterred...
