Wait, can I not carry in a Waymo? Found their rules page: "Do not carry weapons of any kind in the car" That seems... naive? Plenty of people carry pepper spray or a knife with them. Not even ever intending to use them as a weapon. When I go to the range, I travel with a locked case that contains my pistol, which inside has a cable lock. I couldn't take that through a waymo? What about some kid buying a goofy mall katana they are going to put on their wall? Like, obviously brandishing a weapon should be disallowed, but merely having anything that's a weapon? Seems fraught.

I understand Waymo having this position for now. I also think it is reasonable to push them to refine the rules for the situations you mention.

Don’t brandish your weapon and no one will know you have it. Obviously the case here.

In California, it's surprisingly hard to be a legal, responsible gun owner if you don't own your own car. Rideshare bans weapons via TOS, public transit (even unloaded in a locked container) is illegal.

  That's the point (like for all this stuff, going back a hundred years, not just in CA). Don't extend the right to anyone who doesn't have a bunch of wealth to lose that the state can threaten to get compliance.

    Which is why "just build your own infrastructure" is never a good faith argument.

Even if their rules say that I don't get why they are allowed to call the police. In this case it might have been an unregistered gun but if someone was carrying legally they can refuse service but they shouldn't be calling the police.
