Other than to mail in my CHL stuff, I can't actually remember the last time I was there.

The big question is "how do you fight for it?" Call and write your legislators or get arrested and go to court, get convicted and appeal?

Or the other way is to be assaulted and/or injured while on property and not carrying - then file a suit.

That's a valid option if you survive, yeah.

Sue the Post Office/Federal Government because you got assaulted on government property? Good luck with that.

Can't we sue other venues because we were assaulted on their property? Why should the PO/Feds be special? In any case, that's not what I was talking about. You sue them because their asinine policy prevented you from defending yourself. The hard part will be proving that you would not have been injured if you were armed. Even then, nothing is guaranteed.

I still vote for calling or writing your legislator. Heck, run for office if you think you've got a chance.

I prefer the first option, myself. Like I said in my CHL class, I'll cheerfully be a test case for the right reasons, but challenging the details of federal firearms law isn't one of them.

Indeed, it would be quite nice. I suggest talking to your elected US congressional representatives. TX can't do anything with regards to federal law.
