Dark magic too, I've been on one too many rides where the driver insists on monologuing on topics that range from detestable (politics) to alarming (the driver was armed, and had picked me up from the airport)

Was there a law against being armed in the airport dropoff/pickup area there?

No, I added the pick-up locationbut to make it clear the driver knew I was unarmed as I was coming off a flight, since one can't legally fly with a gun.

It's legal to fly with guns in checked bags, but I don't know the specifics of the interaction with the driver.

In most countries, including US and all EU member states, one can legally fly with firearms and ammunition. There are some rules that must be followed. Sure, you can not take them to the cabin.

I have women friends who have been physically assaulted by human drivers.
