No Guns at the Post Office Please...

[PeteLeathersac]

All the common man rights are quickly going out the window!!! .
I'm not going to start bashing any specific groups here, but in Canada an immigrant has many different 'rights' than someone who's a 'native'!? .
Take a look at the 'wrapped' hard hats on some job sites now...the rest of us fellers gotta' wear a regular old hard shell ones! .
Try and legaly walk around with a decent size pocket knife and you'll end up in the jailhouse...yet others have the so called rights to carry sinbad style friggin' swords around now??? .

As far as the signs go, they're probably meant for the Post Office workers...helps keep a few less from 'going postal' on the job?! .

Sorry if anyone takes offence to this babble...the statements and opinions above are my own and not affiliated with this website or any person living or dead! .

Actually, if you look at the fine print on any application for a carry permit it will have a specific list of areas where the permit is not valid. I recall some of the prohibited locations for Florida permits are schools, government offices, and any establishment that serves alcohol. (I may be redundant here since the latter location probably applies to the two former locations ) As for the Post Office, they put that sign there so people are on notice that Federal jurisdiction applies and it wouldnt be a local charge if you were caught carrying on the premises.

I would feel safer with a licensed gun holder buying stamps than I would with a little old lady handing out "Hilliary for Pres" bumper stickers (also illegal on Postal Property)

I don't argue gun control on a car forum (that's what ar15.com is for ) but I find it awful hard to believe that any elected American politician at the Federal level doesn't understand why their peers want to see the American populace disarmed. These people have no respect for our money, our freedom or out rights.

Do check out AR15.com if you haven't already. The General Discussion is probably the most interesting site on the Internet for some actual intelligent debate on the whole issue.

here's what the sign says:

Possesson of Firearms and Other Dangerous Weapons on Postal Service Property is Prohibited by Law.


Possessing a firearm or other dangerous weapon in a federal facility for other than official purposes, causing such a weapon to be present, or attempting to do so are punishable by a fine, imprisonment for up to 1 year, or both.

If the prohibited weapn is intended to be used to commit a crime, the penalty is an increased fine, imprisonment or up to 5 years, or both.

Title 18 US CODE section 930


No person on US Postal Service Property may carry or store firearms, explosives or other dangerous or deadly weapons, either openly or concealed, except for official purposes.

Title 39, Code of Federal Regulations ection 232.1

Report all Firearm Violations Immediatly to the US Postal Inspection Service

So, there you have it.....and what about that catch all "other dangerous weapons"....I had my jacknife in my pocket while I was there..is that a dangerous weapon??

I KNOW A POSTAL EMPLOYEE WHO HUNTS DEER WITH A CROSS BOW, HE MAY NOT PARK HIS CAR ON POSTAL PROPERTY WITH THAT WEAPON IN HIS TRUNK.

I have about 60 different guns. Would I be a "gun nut"? I hope so.

Actually, I disagree. Our money is exactly what they are
after. Money = power. Get rid of the guns, then you can
move against the people without fear of reprisal.
