| Well I`ve been carrying a few times now. It changes your perspective on a lot of things. Like " Am I the only one here carrying or not?" Didn`t think much about that before I started to carry. My question today is Post Offices. Being how is a Government building are you allowed to carry there? Or should I live my piece in my car? Thanks |
| I’ve had this question in my head for awhile now. I’m not a lawyer nor do I play one on TV, but I think the issue at hand is not that it is a government building, but rather that it is a Federal Government building i.e. Federal Property. I’m pretty sure that carrying on Federal property is a major No No. I work on a Federal Installation and I know for sure that bringing a firearm (loaded, unloaded, carried, or cased) is expressly forbidden. I’m fairly sure this is all federal property. |
| The Postal Office is not really part of the fed gov. They are supposedly a "private" enterprise now. They are free from government rule in most ways. I've carried into my Postal office several times without thinking twice about it. Especially since I know what some of the Postal workers carry on their mailtrucks! |
Yes, with a note that says it doesn't apply under subsection (d), which states that you can carry for all lawful purposes. They just don't put subsection d on the sign, just a reference to the section. Here:
They're not lying with the sign, just bending the truth. Carry away. |
