I was with a police department at the time of the incident where I learned this. My list of former employers includes a police department.

Sadly, it proves thugs are dumb but smart enough.
I would suggest going to the PO with someone else who could stay legally armed in the car.

Lock your car doors (at all times)

It is a violation of Federal Law. Not sure of the sentence I think it is 5 years.

This may be a more recent update on CCW in USPS properties: Important to note that this decision is considered a landmark / benchmark that sets a precedent in law for future cases to be decided on. Not all decisions have that weight of law.
Where it stands as far as recognition and adaptation by the USPS?
I have to read onā¦

I let my conscience be my guide. If I carry a gun into a post office that no one sees or knows I have, no one gets hurt.

As a Florida resident, I couldnāt agree more. The one about not carrying in businesses whose primary business is the serving of alcohol is a really bad one. I can think of one restaurant I go to where I canāt tell- is it a bar or a restaurant? They have a big bar that runs the whole length of one end, but the whole place is full of tables, with a full menu, and most people there are eating meals, not just drinking. How am I to know what their primary business is? What if itās not clear exactly where the bar area ends and the ārestaurantā area begins in an establishment?
One improvement that may be coming is, thereās a bill in the legislature now authorizing open carry, and it seems to have support.

Frank, thatās my point, and why Iām wondering. I read it as a landmark case, too. The link I posted seems to indicate that it was. Nothing in the reports on the ruling back in January indicate it was narrow in scope. To the contrary, they seem to indicate that it was broad, yet the USPS seems to have just declared it to be narrow, that it only applied to that one person (or maybe a few, but not the general public), and the rule never changed.
Then again, this wouldnāt be the first time a Federal (or state) entity openly defied a court and kept on with an unconstitutional rule or law. Maybe it has to do with the fact that the ban is actually a law passed by congress back in 1972, and not a āruleā by the Post Office.

I asked āCopilotā MS Bingās AI search engine point blank what the current policy of the USPS is on this topic:
Short answer: Prohibited 
.
Copy paste of there answer:
Sent by Copilot:
The United States Postal Service (USPS) has strict policies regarding the possession of handguns and other dangerous weapons on its premises. According to USPS regulations:
- Possession of firearms and other dangerous weapons on postal property is prohibited by law. This applies to both employees and the general public1.
- USPS employees are not allowed to possess, carry, or store firearms while on duty, whether they are on or off USPS property, unless they are authorized by the chief postal inspector or the inspector general1.
- Violations of these regulations can result in fines, imprisonment, or both1.
If you need more detailed information, you can refer to Poster 158 on the USPS website.

Interesting. Google AI is more nuanced, and recognizes the court ruling.
Google AI Answer to āis it legal to carry a gun on the post officeā
According to current USPS policy, it is not legal to carry a gun on post office property as they prohibit the carrying or storing of firearms, explosives, or other dangerous weapons, either openly or concealed, on postal property, except for official purposes; violating this policy can result in disciplinary action including termination and potential prosecution.
Important Note: A recent ruling by a Florida federal judge has declared the ban on guns in post offices unconstitutional, but this is currently a subject of legal debate and the USPS still maintains their policy against carrying firearms on postal property.
Key points to remember:
- USPS policy: No firearms allowed on postal property.
- Potential consequences: Disciplinary action, including termination, for carrying a gun in a post office.
- Legal dispute: A recent court ruling may challenge the ban on guns in post offices.
