Boston taxi cab drivers who have
firearm licenses will be allowed to carry guns to protect themselves, Boston
Police Comr. Joseph M. Jordan announced at a press conference yesterday.
Jordan’s ruling comes in the wake
of the second murder of a cab driver in four days in the city and cancels a
long-standing order of the department’s Hackney Carriage division that forbids
cab drivers to be armed.

On the issue of guns, violence and cab drivers, there are people of
good sense, but Boston Police Commissioner Joseph M. Jordan is not
among them.
For Jordan to allow cab drivers with firearm licenses to carry
weapons is, at best, an overreaction to the recent murders of two
drivers in four days
