Ken Hanson also points out a huge difference in state law, with Texas the better choice.

In Texas, there is no state law specific to federal facilities, so a person violating 39 CFR 232.1 is subject to the penalties provided under that federal regulation (up to a $50 fine and up to 30 days in jail).

In Ohio, state law (ORC 2923.126(B)) lists places that are prohibited by statute (schools, courts, jails, government facilities, etc.). Unfortunately, that statute also explicitly lists "A place in which federal law prohibits the carrying of handguns". Having a loaded handgun in all of those places is a felony in Ohio. That means in Ohio, a person carrying into a post office faces a federal $50 fine plus an Ohio felony.

You can use a debit card to get a USPS Money Order. The USPS will accept cash, debit card, or traveler's check for payment.

Still doesn't mean I like to be unarmed, but . . . .
