Another Win For The Good Guys, Gun Ban At Post Offices Unconstitutional

[OKTexas]

A federal judge in FL says the ban is inconsistent with traditional gun regulation in the US. In TX you can already carry in State facilities unless it is adjacent to a jail. It's about time they start chipping away from gun free zones. Of course I expect an appeal.

The Marxists/Demofascists dont want to save people by tanking guns away from Law Abiding Citizens, it is so those Marxists can do what ever crime they want and get away with it, without any repercussion.

I am very rarely at the post office, and just as likely as not, it is at night to buy stamps or drop something off. At night, I am always armed, and never remove it, just to run into the post office, walking right by the postings, knowing I will only be a moment inside the facility, usually with nobody else there.

No. Everyone knows post offices are the safest place in the country. You could never get robbed or murdered in a post office, because those postal clerks have super-secret government powers and are armed with hand-scanners and staplers.

Have you never seen what a stapler can do to someone?

Great for Florida residents but unfortunately for the rest of the nation, the restricted areas at designated at the state level just like the carry laws are.

But seriously, the judge is right. Banning the legal carrying of a firearm in a post office is unconstitutional. As is that "gun-free school zone" law. That has done absolutely nothing to prevent those idiots from committing school shootings. If anything, it actually encourages crazy people to commit school shootings, as we've seen the last 20 years.

I'd much rather be shot by some overworked postal employee than I would some drugged-up urban yout.

Those overworked postal employees deserve a little recreational shooting now and then, for all the money we pay them.

I never put my carry license at risk like that.

As I said in the OP, my State did away with that BS.

I don't go on school grounds or into bars while carrying, but that is about it. I am concealed at all times, while carrying, and it has never been seen in a post office, nor is it likely to.

State-level carry laws have very little weight. I carry every day and usually tend to ignore state-level ordnance against carrying in posted areas. The penalty for disobeying those statutes is usually a simple trespassing ticket.

Federal bans on the carrying of weapons are another story. To be arrested for carrying a weapon in a federally-banned place like a post office would require an arrest by a federal marshal, such as a Postal Inspector. That's very unlikely to happen.

The federal ban on carrying in a post office is bullshit. As long as your weapon is secured in your holster, you're in no danger of having an accidental discharge. But when you have to unholster your weapon and re-holster it after conducting your business is when you stand the most probability of accidentally shooting yourself in the dick.

Anyone who carries a weapon every day knows this to be true.

The only time someone would shoot his/her(have to be fair to trannies) is when they have no clue how to operate said weapon.

Well now it's nice to be able to legally do it. I really never paid it much mind before. Makes me want to go out tomorrow and buy some stamps.

LOL....I'm sure the leftists here will find a reason this is absolutely horrible and will end with needless deaths because someone had a gun while dropping off a letter......Blood in the streets!

Jokes aside it never made much sense.....I've dropped off scores of guns at the PO to be mailed to buyers....As long as you followed the procedures clearly laid out in the postal regulations there was never a issue. The trick was making sure the postal employees themselves know the regulations.

Do mailing handguns (non-FFL) next.

I have a conceled carry permit because it gives me a sense of security in this batshit crazy world we live in.

 

[Bell Huey]

I wish they would do away with the no gun policy in VA ABC stores. Thanks to that idiot McAuliffe no guns allowed.

 

[M14 Shooter]

The only time I thought I might need the gun I carry was at the post office, late one night, to drop off a package.
There's no rational reason I should have to break a law to carry there.

You're braver than I am. I'm not going to prison for 10 years.

I park across the street from the Post Office and go in unarmed. It's a rarity but it is one of the few places I go unarmed. When I parked across the street from the Social Security office to go in, I only got to the inner door before security escorted me back out to ask why I was there. They know why we park across the street. Since I was just dropping off some forms, he took them and I went on.
