So much wrong with this story.

Passenger decides to show off carry weapon to Uber driver? Why?

Former military bystander sees weapon being passed around and decides to empty his magazine into the car.

Then there is the poor writing of the story itself.

Wow! This is so wrong on so many levels. I have never seen a "show and tell" turn out real good when you are outside your home.

The only times I do "show and tell" outside of a range, or home....is when I show pictures of my collection. Out in public, it just stays holstered unless it is needed.

I'm just really disgusted in how the various news articles about this are so focused on "a military veteran possibly suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder"... Yeah, let's continue to assume just because it's a veteran, that they all immediately have PTSD... one, they're not a doctor to make such a diagnosis and, two it's a complete 'slap in the face' to many veterans who truly suffer from PTSD as well as stigmatizing those who don't...
