An article in the New York Post discusses a new ride-share service where you can get an armed driver for protection. This is one way to avoid gun-free zones. Right now the ride-service is offered in Atlanta and New York City.
The surge in violent crime nationwide has inspired a former bodyguard to launch a ride-sharing app that features armed drivers — with plans for a Big Apple launch within the next four months.
Kerry King Brown — a 32-year-old former private investigator who worked for Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) — is the brains behind Black Wolf, a startup that currently has around 15 cars servicing the Metro Atlanta area.
“Who are mostly on the news getting robbed, getting raped? The average person,” Brown told Atlanta News First. “What I’m creating is a necessary evil. It’s a necessity.”
In the week since it has launched, there have been some 80,000 downloads, according to Atlanta First News.
“Every Black Wolf App vehicle comes equipped with GPS Tracking and Live-streaming technology that allows our riders to share with their loved ones,” the company says on its Facebook page. . . .
