There's nothing in the Indiana Constitution allowing the state to ban weapons on the state government campus, either, yet they do. All it would take is an irresponsible administrator making an IAC reg and poof, carry in the BMV, go to jail.
The state preemption law limits "political subdivisions" of the state, not the state itself, and certainly not the federal government, though I wish it did.
I've seen two bits of federal law cited re: post office carry. The United States Code says it's cool. The Code of Federal Regulations says it's verbotten. Just like the IAC has to be maintained in strict abeyance of the IC, the CFR has to be kept in strict abeyance of the USC. Concealed-carry in a post office may lead to rude awakening There's a case wending its way through the Colorado courts now, Bonidy v USPS MSLF -- Legal Cases, which seeks to clear up that discrepancy.
