Armed Lyft Driver Shoots 2 Car Jackers in Philadelphia

About this video

Colion breaks down a reported incident in which a Lyft driver in Philadelphia allegedly defended himself against two carjackers who rear-ended him and threatened him with a rifle. Colion uses this case to argue that rideshare drivers should carry firearms for self-protection despite Lyft’s and Uber’s no-weapons policies, which he contends prioritize liability protection over actual safety. He emphasizes that individual responsibility for personal safety outweighs company policy and urges drivers to get proper training.

Key takeaways

• Colion reports that carjackings of rideshare drivers are increasing, citing statistics he presents showing a dramatic rise in Philadelphia carjackings from 225 in 2019 to 720 by mid-2021
• Colion argues that Lyft and Uber’s no-weapons policies are designed to limit liability rather than genuinely protect drivers, and that these policies cannot override state carry laws—the worst consequence being termination
• Colion teaches that personal safety is an individual responsibility and recommends rideshare drivers obtain firearms, carry permits, and seek specialized vehicle-defense training
