Remember- when it comes to the legal industry the one who prevails is the one who can pay the shysters to dance and belch the longest (sorry Charles- I count you as distinguished barrister, not a shyster). Who has more money than the Federal Govt (besides God)? Paying one lawyer would bankrupt you, and they have legions of them, and when they need more money they just steal it from the peons through taxation. Also, it doesn't matter what the law says. You have to prove yourself innocent at $300+/hr. and the law means whatever some Roland Freisler clone in a black robe says it means. It would be like opposing a Chinese human wave charge with a muzzle loader.
Actually, living through a deadly force encounter is a win. At least in my book it is. My getting involved in a DF encounter would be the only way it would be known I was carrying.

I also disagree with you about the having to prove my innocence. It works the other way around.

With all due respect to your Federal Service (and I am sincere about that) as I already wrote; I believe I am legal carrying there. If I am involved in a deadly force encounter at a Post Office and I happen to SURVIVE, I will gladly let you know how this "test case" ends up. ;-)

As I have written here before; I am no attorney, but I read the laws and do the best I can to follow to the letter. I don't read the law to suit me, but I try to read to the middle.

In reading the law I believe I am perfectly legal to carry into a US Post Office. The only way that anyone will know I am carrying is if I am involved in a deadly force encounter. In that case, assuming I survive, I believe I will have the law on my side.
