Re: Carrying at the Post Office

Dr. Jekyl wrote:Maybe I'm missing something. Reading through this thread, I see a lot of discussion about how various federal statutes put 39 USC 232.1 in control of conduct on postal property to the exclusion of other federal laws. But nobody has mentioned 232.1(p)(2) which says, in part,
"Nothing contained in these rules and regulations shall be construed to abrogate any other Federal laws or regulations of any State and local laws and regulations applicable to any area in which the property is situated."
My non-lawyer brain interprets that to mean that the Postal Service defers to local law in areas where there are conflicts, which in Texas means that a CHL can carry. Does anyone agree? Having opined that, however, let me say that I'm not volunteering to be the test case.
I actually wrote a whole book about this exact issue in a past thread. It all comes down to the same answer, who's going to volunteer to be the test case?
