I'm going to say no, because if I recall correctly there are no signs indicating they are USPS property. And they are separated from the building by a public sidewalk. Take it for what it is worth.Here is a Post Office question for the local southsiders and Beech Grove Ingoers. Are the four parking spaces on Main St in front of the BG post office considered post office property? Asking for a friend.
They always just delivered them directly to my house.CMP Garand mail to someone. Yes, it has happened.
In some small towns, the township owns the property the post office is on. Would one in your vehicle be an issue then?Not only is it a federal crime to carry into the building, it is a federal crime to have the gun in your car in their parking lot. I was very disappointed in the 10th Circuit when they overturned Bonidy, and was hoping for an appeal to SCOTUS.
Subchapter D. Section 232.1
(l) Weapons and explosives. 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.
And "Official purposes" is defined elsewhere. Nothing a private citizen does will qualify.

Which will do what?...we need to pass laws saying that Indiana does not recognize the federal no gun zones.
I've never understood what so many places have against Berettas. But I carry a CZ or a HiPower, so ... whatever.So it’s no revolvers in the post office, and no berettas in some Meiers? This is getting confusing!
Which will do what?
Not a comparable situation.Ask the stoners in Cali, Oregon, Illinois, etc...
.
Not a comparable situation.
See what happens if they spark a doobie in a post office or federal courthouse regardless of what the state law is.
If you are saying that carrying in a "school zone" is not a federal crime because the federal law creates an exception for those licensed by the state, I agree. However, that's because the federal law creates the exception.Alright then, the IN LTCH exemption from the federal law on schools, school parking lots, etc.

It's the 'on property' thing that catches most people...because one might think to leave their firearm in their vehicle when they make a quick run inside, not realizing that the parking lot outside is considered 'postal' property.Not only is it a federal crime to carry into the building, it is a federal crime to have the gun in your car in their parking lot. I was very disappointed in the 10th Circuit when they overturned Bonidy, and was hoping for an appeal to SCOTUS.

Understood, but does the "Parking lot" law come into play here?Federal misdemeanor, don't do it.
*Not saying it is right, but it is a criminal violation.
No. “Anywhere on the property”. And they are in the exemptions carve out I believe.Understood, but does the "Parking lot" law come into play here?
The case in the 10th Circuit? Bonidy?Understood, but does the "Parking lot" law come into play here?
