(l) Weapons and explosives. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law, rule or regulation, no person while on postal property may carry firearms, other dangerous or deadly weapons, or explosives, either openly or concealed, or store the same on postal property, except for official purposes.
FIFYYeah, I hate having to either park off site of the post office, or sneak my gun into the console, before going into the post office, also had to go to the Social Security office here, saw the sign saying it was a federal crime to possess a gun in the building, so I dutifully went to may car and put it in the console...The guard, was cool, and said "I saw what you did, and thank you" he went on to say he thought is was stupid, especially veterans having to do that. To me, the social security office is one place I would rather have a gun...that's just me..
I hope this sticks, and we can stop losing our rights at the post office property like Post Office parkings lots, side walks, lawn and inside of that Federal Building.
And of course, it never occurs to the anti-gun crowd that if someone decides to go on a shooting spree, they are not going to be dissuaded by a "no guns allowed" sign. But logic has never been their strong suit.I've never heard of a postal customer shooting up the place. In my 28 years working at the USPS, we had several incidents of EMPLOYEES shooting up the place. Typical misdirected liberalPUKEism.
If I remember, maybe 20+ years ago, Blockbuster Video banned guns in their stores. Law abiding citizen goes into store, leaves gun in car, and is shot in a robbery inside the store. Blockbuster was deemed liable for the shooting. This memory is vague, someone help me out, please. I believe this was in Texas.There should be a law that if a place you are doing any type of business at and has a no gun policy, thus you are forced to leave it in your car to be potentially stolen. If said firearm is used in a crime, then that place that disarmed you is legally liable. Just my 2 cents.
I don't think I heard that story.If I remember, maybe 20+ years ago, Blockbuster Video banned guns in their stores. Law abiding citizen goes into store, leaves gun in car, and is shot in a robbery inside the store. Blockbuster was deemed liable for the shooting. This memory is vague, someone help me out, please.

UNITED STATES v. AYALA (2024)
United States District Court, M.D. Florida,
UNITED STATES of America, v. Emmanuel AYALA, Defendant.
Case No: 8:22-cr-369-KKM-AAS
Decided: January 12, 2024
Abigail King, Ross Roberts, DOJ-USAO, Tampa Division, Tampa, FL, James A. Muench, U.S. Attorney's Office, Tampa, FL, for United States of America. Stephen Consuegra, Laura Jessica Daines, Federal Defender's Office, Tampa, FL, for Defendant.
ORDER
The United States indicted Emmanuel Ayala, a postal worker, for possessing a firearm in a Federal facility in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 930(a). Ayala argues that statute is unconstitutional as applied to him because the historical record does not support a law banning firearms in post offices. See N.Y. State Rifle & Pistol Ass'n v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1 (2022). Relying on dicta from earlier cases, the United States responds that the Second Amendment allows it to punish the bearing of arms inside any government building. But the Supreme Court has been clear: the government must point to historical principles that would permit it to prohibit firearms possession in post offices. See id. at 17, 24. The United States fails to meet that burden. Thus, I dismiss the § 930(a) charge because it violates Ayala's Second Amendment right to bear arms.
