He said that there is almost always a set of double doors to access federal employees and you could safely carry outside those double doors. New post offices don't have the double doors, but are open and have detectors. you of course are not allowed to pass the detectors. he said before you carry at any post office you should ask someone at that location.

This seems to be somewhat contradicting to what y'all are saying...

Unfortunately there is not really any case law, where an individual with a CHL has been arrested for going into or onto post office property, to more clearly define the boundaries. I think what your CHL instructor did is what many of them and us do, and that is try to set a reasonable 'line in the sand' that works to allow you to have your gun close and will 99.9% keep you out of trouble. Bottom line, there are no hard facts or guidance other than what the federal code states and everyone's lay interpretation of that statute.
