Re: SCOTUS criminalizes guns in car if in post office parking lot
Nope. Not a problem, but I'm tactfully avoiding breaking rule #4. I have a "friend" who leaves his EDC in the car when he parks at the post office.

Re: SCOTUS criminalizes guns in car if in post office parking lot
Do you know anyone convicted of carrying in a PO parking lot ?mojo84 wrote:Do you know of any convictions for someone carrying in a GFSZA that wasn't convicted of committing another crime? It's my understanding this is usually just an add-on charge when someone is charged with committing other crimes in a GFSZA. Haven't heard of it being a primary charge.ScottDLS wrote:SCOTUS didn't rule on this, they just refused to hear the case from 2nd circuit letting that decision stand. The issue of Post Office parking lots is much less important than Federal GFSZA. I'm always surprised at the people who worry about leaving their gun in the car in PO parking lot, who will drive through a school zone with a loaded long gun in their trunk,
OR off duty LEO's who carry in schools, school zones, etc.
PO parking lot carry is a Federal "infraction" w/ max 30 days in jail and typically a small fine.
Carry in violation of Federal GFSZA is a federal felony with 10 years in prison and $250,000 fine.
Not sure it is as big a problem as it seems it could be.
Just saying.
