As far as I remember, only in context to the secure area of police stations. Nowhere else.

Sec. 411.207. AUTHORITY OF PEACE OFFICER
TO DISARM.
(b) A peace officer who is acting in the lawful
discharge of the officer's official duties may
temporarily disarm a license holder when a license
holder enters a nonpublic, secure portion of a law
enforcement facility, if the law enforcement agency
provides a gun locker where the peace officer can
secure the license holder's handgun. The peace
officer shall secure the handgun in the locker and
shall return the handgun to the license holder
immediately after the license holder leaves the
nonpublic, secure portion of the law enforcement
facility.
Even then, you cannot be prohibited from carrying in the secure area of a police station unless they have a location to securely store your firearm for you.

Until about four years ago the US Postal Service was putting into the US Treasury from postage collected One Billion dollars a year. That's a Billion dollars the tax payer didn't have to be taxed. Congress mandated the US Postal Service prefund retirement to the tune of 23 Billion dollars a year until a limit of about 75 billion was reached. Name one other company, entity, or organization that could make a profit under those conditions. If that mandate was removed the US Postal Service would immediately become profitable again. The Postal Service is a bloated beaurecratic system and does need to be trimmed but try to send written communications from any other organization for .43 cents to McCarthy, Alaska from any other part of the US for that cost.


Right, but you ignored the meat of his post, which is that the only reason they have any success at all is because the federal government has made it illegal for other companies to do what they do.

FedEx can't compete on delivering mail to your mailbox for .43 cents because it is against the law for them to even try.

What? How? They can charge whatever they want.


Fedex is not legally allowed to touch your mailbox. Period.
