Re: Carrying at the Post Office

I put my pocket gun in my pocket the other day, for a quick trip to the market and a couple of other errands, figured I would be gone maybe a half hour or so (I do mean quick) and as I started out the door I noticed the little package that my wife had asked me to mail, and immediately put my stupid on and picked the package up to do on the way, as I headed for the car.

We have one of those "off site" post offices just a few minutes from my house, and on the way to the other errands, but the regular post office is also on the way, so I drove by to see how crowded it was. There were three whole cars in the lot, so I swung in and parked, grabbed the package, went inside, filled out the label at the counter without holding anyone up, nobody else there, paid, and left, before I realized I still had my pocket gun in my pocket.

I am not one to worry about things much in retrospect, but this thread did give me pause to wonder if I had placed myself in candidacy to be a test case.

In the past I have discussed this with a couple of PO employees and I think the chance of getting prosecuted would be proportional to the person doing the discovering's understanding of the law and personal anti-gun-nut attitude or lack of same.
