Remember we are asking what you think of CCW, not actually asking for anyone to publicly state that they commit a crime.

Oh good.  Now there is no reason to worry about being shot in a PO, because guns are outlawed.

OK, this is the very same statute I cite as to why I can carry in a Post Office.

Just how do we all KNOW it's a felony?

No, it's not.

Still waiting for my CCW to arrive in the mail.  I would rather not press my luck and carry into a post office.  Sure, it may qualify as a "lawful purpose" but I'd rather avoid having felony charges on my record, even if they'll get dismissed.

Not illegal unless your state forbids it.
