So...by extension, does this potentially make it unconstitutional to ban carry on all federal property and allow us to carry on a military base?

This is course applies right now to only one person (the plaintiff), though we can imagine the 2A will eventually prevail across all circuits and in more than just post offices - but the court-o-rama carnival ride will likely take years. Even so, though, I doubt it would extend to military bases, or anyplace else where security is provided by people on duty actually carrying guns.So...by extension, does this potentially make it unconstitutional to ban carry on all federal property and allow us to carry on a military base?

they have learned how to steal the mail inside. it's happening at the distribution centers where all of the mail comes together and gets post marked and sorted. several checks of mine were stolen from the DC center, one was washed and electronically deposited. it was a horrible "washing" (name & amount), but passed either photo deposit or ATM deposit. no teller in their right mind would have believed it was legit (unless said teller was in on the gig). luckily my credit union got took care of me and i got it all back.At any rate, when it absolutely has to get there before the Vernal Equinox, mail it inside, where they haven't learned how to steal the mail yet.
Just because the sign says Post Office doesn't ALWAYS mean it's "Government property" if it's located in like a strip mall....that's IS NOT Gov't Property... they lease the space18 U.S. Code § 930
Possession of firearms and dangerous weapons in Federal facilities
39 CFR § 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.

I have both, and a giving spirit. I'm always ready to help a fellow man better understand science....Those with access to machine tools and who know chemistry will always have the option of being armed.
There are what look like metal detectors in the Edgewater, MD post office.CMC
Never saw a metal detector in a post office.
Although I cannot imagine anybody being so irresponsibly brazen as to enter a US Post Office without first going home and locking up his gun before returning to mail his letter or whatever...

There are probably some intricacies to it for sure...but it's also a stretch to call it Government Property for sure, based on some Postal workers (not just carriers) I have spoken withI believe this is incorrect. I think once a governmental lease is signed, the property now enjoys all the benefits of being "public" property. If in a strip mall, they (strip mall owners) can not prevent you from accessing the post office.

The ones that actually run/manage a given facility will know as they would have to have it maintained, etc...No, not even intricacies and not a stretch. If a USPS has an office, for practical purposes, the entire facility and access to it is treated as public property. I did lol at the postal employee comment though. I think no one would know less about postal laws than postal employees.

Here is the policy...No, not even close. Ask one of your USPS friends if you can bring a video camera into the post office and film everything and everyone I am genuinely curious what they will say.
It hasn't even gotten to the appeals court yet.Will this be another "en banc" scenario where they will delay this in hopes that the SCOTUS makeup changes?

As it should be.In the mid 90's I bought a new Mossberg shotgun. The trigger was messed up and I wanted to send it back to Mossberg for repairs. I had tossed the box before then......long story about that.
I called the Hampstead Post Office to tell them I had a shotgun to send back ,but I had no box.
To my surprise, the lady said to just bring it on in and they would supply an appropriate size box. I asked a second time in case she didnt hear me correctly. I asked if I needed to have it in a case or broke down and she said again to just bring it on in, just dont point it anybody.
Thats what I did and even though I felt like I was doing something totally illegal, not one person reacted in any way. I may as well have been holding a sandwich
Won't affect us.when does this take affect

So are they searching people who have pocket knives and keys in their pockets?There are what look like metal detectors in the Edgewater, MD post office.
