No, LEOSA applies to PO, since it is usually Fed Property.

The GFSZ law is tricky, it is a Fed Law, but usually local property, hence special case not covered in LEOSA.

State law allows it, federal law prohibits it. If I carry in the post office parking lot I could be arrested by FBI, border patrol, etc, but NOT by local PD, sheriff, DPS, etc.
If my PO calls 911 and reports "man with a gun", the local popo is coming Code3 and making the arrest. Most Federal Gun Laws originate with detentions made by local police. Just look at all the conviction for carrying on property controlled by Federal Law and see who makes the arrest. Schools, POs, Army Corp of Engineers, 99% of Federal gun charges are by Texas Peace officers.

About a year ago, my PO made a DUI arrest in the PO parking lot. Guy was convicted in Federal Court.

No protection for parking lots, premises, etc on Federal Property.
