I am fortunate that in my regular routine the post office is almost the only place that I go that my state CCW is not valid. I suspect that many of my fellow knife nuts share in common with me that they are CCW holders and their knife "problem" often involves trips the post office. Do you take off your gun and store it in your vehicle while you run in EVERY time?? Do you you just go for it and run your quick errand and cross your fingers? Or are you like me and sometimes disarm and sometimes just run in?

I am very aware that no state CCW is valid on any federal property and I am VERY uncomfortable ignoring that fact. BUT the odds are a billion times higher that my car will be stolen with my gun in it or that my car will be broken into and my gun found and stolen while I am in the post office than that I will commit a crime with my gun while I'm in the post office running my meager errand. While it's not that likely that my car be stolen or burlarized, there is NO possibility of my doing anything bad with my gun in the post office. Bottom line is my gun is 1 quadrillion times safer on my person in the post office with me and under my control than it is locked in my car in the parking lot. My gun is safest when it is on my person, it is then under the control of a voting, tax paying,business owner, employer, husband, father and trying to be safe AND law-abiding U.S citizen.

What are your thoughts and what do you do??
 
I'm too young and don't live in a state that will issue permits (yet, its on the bill). So I don't know exactly what its like to be in your situation. From everything I've seen though, carrying a concealed firearm into the post office is a crime in itself. Thats something you should keep in mind,due to heightened security and everything. You might accidentally let someone see your gun depending on how you carry it, or run into security of some sort. And then the **** would hit the fan. I know you have no plans of doing anything unlawful, and I completely support CCW permits, but the law is the law and the penalties for breaking it are probably going to be alot more of an inconvenience than leaving your gun in the car.
 
your carrying to make yourself safe..
if you carry into a zone of danger ( illegal carry zone)
then you have defeated the original purpose for carrying..
to keep YOURSELF safe... if you face federal arrest for doing it
YOU ARE NOT SAFE BY CARRYING IT..seems to be a self evident
truth here if you look hard enough... if my gun will get me
10 years in the fed pen by carrying it here..i am not safe..
seems pretty easy to figure out to me...good luck....
 
If you violate your CCW rules, you will loose your CCW. As for me, I value having my permit too much to chance loosing it over a trip into anywhere it is not allowed.
 
You have the RIGHT to remain silent
If YOU give up that RIGHT, BIG BROTHER shall screw you
You have a RIGHT to an attorney at $350 an hour
of course you cannot afford one, so it's a Public defender for ya
Plan on a plea, unless you get lucky, REAL lucky and your public defender actually defends you
In either case, you will get BILLED by the Government for your FREE Attorney.
So to answer to the question: Do you disarm before entering the USPS?, Well, do ya punk?...........:cool: :eek: :cool: :cool:
 
Living in Canada, we do not even have the priveledge to carry concealed. You've got it - why mess with it? If the law says no CCW in the post office, then don't break the law.

Yeah, go ahead and give the anti's even more reason to take away our guns.
 
Though it's definitely a stupid law, it is the law and not worth losing your CWP for. If your really worried, buy a good lock box for your car, and a good car alarm. Just my opinion. :)
