From the Kansas City Star of August 2, 2005
Carrier scares off assailants with gun
A veteran contract carrier for The Kansas City Star parked close to the store at 5th Street and Troost Avenue like always early today. It meant a quick trip back to the safety of his van.
But one of his four attackers, the biggest guy, was too quick for the carrier to drive away.
The assailant and perhaps others in his group rained punches on the 66-year-old carrier through his driver-side window. He used a gun to fend them off, firing three times.
…
The Star has no prohibitions on contract carriers carrying weapons on their routes, so long as they abide by state laws, Christian said. They are not, however, permitted to bring guns into Star facilities.
Police said the carrier was in line with Missouri gun laws.
