In the final analysis, being found not guilty after expending you life savings and taking out a second mprtgage to pay the lawyers hardly counts as a win. Remember- when it comes to the legal industry the one who prevails is the one who can pay the shysters to dance and belch the longest (sorry Charles- I count you as distinguished barrister, not a shyster). Who has more money than the Federal Govt (besides God)? Paying one lawyer would bankrupt you, and they have legions of them, and when they need more money they just steal it from the peons through taxation. Also, it doesn't matter what the law says. You have to prove yourself innocent at $300+/hr. and the law means whatever some Roland Freisler clone in a black robe says it means. It would be like opposing a Chinese human wave charge with a muzzle loader.
Better to perish in struggle for freedom than live to see defeat.

Actually, living through a deadly force encounter is a win. At least in my book it is. My getting involved in a DF encounter would be the only way it would be known I was carrying.revjen45 wrote:In the final analysis, being found not guilty after expending you life savings and taking out a second mprtgage to pay the lawyers hardly counts as a win.

I also disagree with you about the having to prove my innocence. It works the other way around.

I'll 3rd it lol
In the post offices here the usual sign showing a snubbie X'ed out is all the way at the counter 30ft inside the bldg. And everyone take a close look at these signs (as my chl instructor showed us)...they conveniently cut off the code and leave off part d) about the lawful carrying part, which is stated earlier in this thread. I just happened to have this discussion again with my chl instructor. We're going to keep looking and I'll darn sure post here when we find some answers.
We both think its ok since we would be lawfully carrying.
I agree with txinvestigator....I'd hate to get caught up in someone going postal and not survive.

If loose gun laws are good for criminals, why do criminals support gun control?

Now this is the kind of post I like to read. A little bit of law and a whole lot of common sense. Thank you txinvestigator.txinvestigator wrote:As I have written here before; I am no attorney, but I read the laws and do the best I can to follow to the letter. I don't read the law to suit me, but I try to read to the middle.
In reading the law I believe I am perfectly legal to carry into a US Post Office. The only way that anyone will know I am carrying is if I am involved in a deadly force encounter. In that case, assuming I survive, I believe I will have the law on my side.
