I think it would help sell "Post Office Carry" if we point out that it would have ZERO cost to the taxpayers while inserting a bit of common sense into the lives of regular citizens (i.e., the post office is not in any way a "sensitive area" as defined by Heller).
I propose the changes indicated below to current federal laws and regulations. Ideas?
39 CFR 232.1:
“Weapons and explosives . Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law, rule or regulation, no person while on postal property may carry firearms, other dangerous or deadly weapons, or explosives, either openly or concealed, or store the same on postal property, except for official purposes. However, individuals with valid state-issued permits or licenses that authorize the concealed or open carry of weapons, including firearms, may bear such arms for lawful purposes, including lawful self defense, in the parking lots, lobbies, and customer service areas of any postal facility while conducting lawful business within the facilities.”
18 U.S.C. 930 – Possession of firearms and dangerous weapons in Federal Facilities:
(a) Except as provided in subsection (d), whoever knowingly possesses or causes to be present a firearm or other dangerous weapon in a Federal facility (other than a Federal court facility), or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both. However, individuals with valid state-issued permits or licenses that authorize the concealed or open carry of weapons, including firearms, may bear such arms for lawful purposes, including lawful self defense, in the parking lots, lobbies, and customer service areas of any postal facility while conducting lawful business within the facilities.”
39USC410(a):
“…insofar as such laws remain in force as rules or regulations of the Postal Service, no Federal law dealing with public or Federal contracts, property, works, officers, employees, budgets, or funds, including the provisions of Chapters 5 and 7 of title 5, shall apply to the exercise of the powers of the postal service. However, individuals with valid state-issued permits or licenses that authorize the concealed or open carry of weapons, including firearms, may bear such arms for lawful purposes, including lawful self defense, in the parking lots, lobbies, and customer service areas of any postal facility while conducting lawful business within the facilities.”
