Vote with your feet and use private postal stores like Mailboxes, etc. Put the Feds out of business.

If it is indeed illegal to carry at a post office then I'm not sure leaving the weapon in car parked in post office parking lot will get you off the hook.
Bottom line: No carrying on federal property.
I like the suggestion that was made, to use Mailboxes USA or some other such place to do routine mailing.
I know most of us feel naked without our carry weapon, but just think how naked you would feel in a federal prison.
IMO, not worth the risk.

RKSAP is right. Don't even THINK about carrying in/on ANY Federal property.
We can around and around but Federal 39CFR232.1(l) is clear. No guns anywhere on postal property--that is building and parking lot. You can do what you want--after all you are CC so no one knows, but-----yada yada yada.
Actually, it's not quite that bad...
would 30 days be spent in a federal pen?

and regulations are heard, and the penalties prescribed herein are
imposed, either in a Federal district court or by a Federal magistrate

imprisonment of not more than 30 days, or both. Nothing contained in
these rules and regulations shall be construed to abrogate any other
Federal laws or regulations of any State and local laws and regulations
applicable to any area in which the property is situated.
I don't know about anybody else, but for me, I've got to think 'dominoes'.
I'm pretty sure after 30 days my job would no longer be waiting for me. After that, it's just a power dive.
No thanks.
While many claim to support the right, precious few support the practice.
