Carrying your gun for SD on USPS property is NOT (by any stretch) 'official business.'
Please direct your comments to the portions I've highlighted in bold text.
Carrying your gun for SD on USPS property is NOT (by any stretch) 'official business.'
(h) Notice of the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) shall be
posted conspicuously at each public entrance to each Federal
facility, and notice of subsection (e) shall be posted
conspicuously at each public entrance to each Federal court
facility, and no person shall be convicted of an offense under
subsection (a) or (e) with respect to a Federal facility if such
notice is not so posted at such facility, unless such person had
actual notice of subsection (a) or (e), as the case may be.
So, no, it's not legal. More than that, it's not even just inside the Post Office; it's postal property. So even if you leave the gun in the car, you've already sinned.(l) Weapons and explosives. 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.

Finally, what exactly was the point of telling him that you carry?
3) the lawful carrying of firearms or other dangerous weapons
in a Federal facility incident to hunting or other lawful
purposes.

It is probably illegal to be in possession of USPS property without permission. You may have committed a felony just by picking it up.
