My post office has a bulletin board too. But it’s a small post office with 1 employee.
Yes. As you walk in the front entry there are Post Office boxes on the left and on the right there's a bulletin board with all the FBI's most wanted and all that on it and poster regulations and right in the middle of it is a great big sign that says no firearms
Next time you're there go look at that wall because I bet there's a sign on there and it says no firearmsoh we do have a wall with the FBI most wanted on it but it’s not a bulletin board. They are just right up on the wall.
It’s not on that wall, if they have one it’s hiding somewhere.Next time you're there go look at that wall cuz I bet there's a sign on there and it says no firearms
So long as that carpark is not shared with any other business(es), as I understand it.Signs do not matter when it comes to a post office. It is unlawful to carry a firearm in one, and to leave one in a car in their parking lot.
My wife's cooking (especially this time of year when she has two cookie jars full of treats on the kitchen counter) makes me a "somewhat more 'rounded' person."As far as other countries go I like to travel. Makes me a somewhat more “rounded” person.
That is force of law. They can't shoot you, but complain enough and you get arrested for trespass.The normal businesses (non governmental) around here that display the no guns signs don't carry the weight of law, so all they can do is ask you to leave & bad you from ever coming back. So I do carry concealed in those but only when I have to enter those businesses, I don't normally do business with those anti-gun places.
Just like mine.Your post office has a bulletin board?
mine has no such thing just 2 self service kiosk if you turn right from the door along with various drop boxes for different types of mail, and if you turn left from the door there is an small open area where they sell shipping supplies and stuff and a desk against the wall where the sell stamps, then on the right side of that area there is a roped off line for the main shipping desk with a table on one side like you see in banks but instead of deposit slips it has pens and shipping slips so you can fill them out while waiting in line. The beyond that table there is the main shipping desk it generally has 2-3 people working it, and to the left of the main shipping desk there is a hallway that leads back to a small waiting area and some offices for passports and stuff.
Which is why both I and the other poster whose post office doesn't have signs, posted that we don't carry there despite the lack of a sign because we know it's illegal.Signs do not matter when it comes to a post office. It is unlawful to carry a firearm in one, and to leave one in a car in their parking lot.
AZ actually has a law that public buildings (not federal, state can't regulate those) that don't allow guns have to provide secure storage for visitors' firearms. So, courthouses, libraries, etc.The normal businesses (non governmental) around here that display the no guns signs don't carry the weight of law, so all they can do is ask you to leave & bad you from ever coming back. So I do carry concealed in those but only when I have to enter those businesses, I don't normally do business with those anti-gun places.
What if one comes in while you are there?I will just leave and be gone by the time any LE officer gets there.
How about risking your clean record, your personal freedom, your fortune, and for a lifetime, your right to have a firearm?It's not worth risking my life to some dumb sign.
Many times in many places signs are not lawful. Of course this depends on your state. For example where I live a simple “no guns” sign isn’t lawful. I definitely don’t advocate breaking laws fwiw.What if one comes in while you are there?

Depends where you are I imagine. As I mentioned earlier, at my post office, open carry inside the building is common.Thanks. I didn’t know that.
I wonder with what vigor the parking lot portion of the law is enforced.
Federal crime in all of the US.Depends where you are I imagine. As I mentioned earlier, at my post office, open carry inside the building is common.
The subject of local laws applying to federal installations is interesting. The conventional wisdom would certainly be to "tread very lightly" since violating federal laws (while armed) could find someone cooling their heels in prison for a LONG time if not extremely careful."…As I mentioned earlier, at my post office, open carry inside the building is common…"
