At the post office, your only worry is a postal worker, no criminal in his right mind goes to the post office and risks getting outgunned by the workers there.

Well, they don't own your person either, so the logic is a bit off. In some states, the vehicle may be considered an extension of the home, but that may or may not be in regard to public lands/roads.But they don't own my vehicle.
I don't respect people who have that attitude towards firearms. I cannot abide willful ignorance, and have zero respect for those who display it. If they post "No firearms allowed" on the entrance to the building, I'll honor that, as that is legally enforceable. If they try to say you cannot have it in the parking lot, well, good luck getting a search warrant for something you don't even know is there. That is NOT legally enforceable, at least not here, and I know it. I'm NOT giving up my protection to appease some moron who has his head so firmly in his backside that he can't see daylight.
Look at it this way... If it is legally enforceable, they will fire you and press charges. If it is not legally enforceable, they will just fire you. Either way, you're fired.I don't respect people who have that attitude towards firearms. I cannot abide willful ignorance, and have zero respect for those who display it.

If a federal agency leases a building then it is considered Federal property. On most federal property, the very act of entering that property gives them the right to search your car with out your permission.
Think of it this way. A LEO has to have a warrant to search your vehicle. So there for it is your private property and cannot be controlled.
My opinion is that they're allowing you to park your vehicle on their property, and that in turn they should be able to make that use of their property conditional
The the same way, if a parking lot owner gets on his high horse and says "this is MY parking lot, so MY rules apply" and then someone is hurt in his parking lot, and his rules did not bar that behavior, HE is on the hook."
In any event, most tort law is like that. What is foreseeable and what is preventable and at what reasonable cost and if there is even a connection (nexus) between the cause and the effect? There are more complicated issues but those are the main things you have to answer for the court before liability can be attributed.
So......anyone know about Kentucky? Or Michigan, another state where I spend some time?
An employer can request an employee to allow a search of his vehicle parked on company property. Refusal would result in dismissal.
