Black Wolf app - Armed Drivers

Have any of you heard of this?  Just read about it...it's like Uber but the drivers are armed.  Guess it is in ATL but expanding.  Sounds like they have an exclusive client customer in mind, but also want it available to the general public.  Not sure what to think about it other than it sounds like a good idea, but guess I didn't realize it wasn't safe to ride in an Uber/Lfyt?

I'm guessing the app has a hefty and well written terms and conditions so they aren't liable for anything.

I remember back in the day our parents said not to get into cars with strangers. Now we are getting into cars with strangers that are armed.

I don't know if Uber/Lyft drivers are getting held up or they are doing the holding up.   But this seems like a solution looking for a problem.

Sort of feel this way...not sure this is a solution that addresses a specific problem.  Closes thing I saw is it is in response to crime increase in ATL...but then the person who came up with it didn't mention that rather spoke about how this was for a specific clientele - executives, celebrities, and such that would need armed protection, but those folks probably would have that anyway.  And the person went on to say it would also be available for people, parents and kids who are looking for piece of mind.

Sounds like there is a stringent recruitment process for the drivers and the job is marketed to ex police, military, bodyguards, etc...more importantly those trained with weapons and are licensed in specific states they would work in.  I can't believe there is an insurance company who would license this, but then again, I know there is.

Just sort of weird I guess...but like you said, it seems like a solution looking for a problem.
