I thought a federal judge threw that law out 3-4 months ago. It came out of an employment law case. Post office fired a guy who had a gun in his car in the parking lot.
OP
That was specifically about the regulation used to fire him. It had no effect outside of that specific case. There is a previous case out of Colorado where the 10th Circuit upheld the rule.
In effect this will likely create a circuit split and make it "ripe" for review at SCOTUS.
Since the no firearms in post offices rule dates only to 1972, it might be hard to claim that they have been considered "sensitive" places since the founding of the nation.

When I was in the postal service, if you had a firearm in your vehicle, you had to park off site.

I'm not going to guess how often that prohibition is ignored in this state.
Or any state that permits CCW.
If they don't have metal detectors, how are they going to know... Just saying...
I'm all for overturning stupid laws however.
But even if you were to stop a criminal activity on or within USPS property, then you have also committed a federal crime. Catch 22.
The only chance of me being in that dilemma is if my life was in danger. I'd rather face a federal indictment than be dead. Just like the old bromide, "I'd rather be tried by twelve than carried by six."
Yes, but it's insane that you can end up being charged as a criminal while stopping actual criminal activity. We live in a bizarre world.
Our police station is across the street from the post office. Cops regularly enter the post office with their sidearms showing. I have done so inadvertently. My concealed pistol is so comfortable I forget about it.
"If you are tired of drunk drivers killing sober drivers...then outlaw sober driving. That's how gun control works."
(Heard on a YouTube Short. Sorry I cannot now find whom to credit.)
Really? Sober drivers = law abiding gun owners.
Punishing sober drivers doesn't solve the DUI problem any more than punishing law abiding gun owners will solve the gun violence problem.
Does that make sense?
Prohibited in many locations in this state. Do I care? Not a whitt. I carry in the PO, bank, and any other location which does not have a metal detector.
12/6, is the rule I chose to live by.

Anybody that remembers...
...where the term 'going postal' came from will probably be ducking for cover.
This is going to be a hard sell and I wish they would pick their fights better.

Looks to me like they are't picking their fights at all.
They are jumping into every fight they can.
Bumpstocks, pistol braces, firearms prohibitions without due process, red flag laws, prohibited carry at the PO - they seem to be pushing hard on all fronts.
About time someone did, IMO....
