Post Office carry...different, I promise!

[wgoforth]

So when does this become different than the other post office debates?

because in the past it had generally been "gray area, not ruled on, no one wants to be test case" but that Greshem said a new law specifically ruled on it and I was trying to find the ruling he referred to....as I said in the original post.....

I don't know what a person going about his business at a post office would do to give a federal LEO probable cause for a search.

Maybe cases like this... the Post Office here told me you could not mail long guns thru USPS. Even though they are wrong, suppose I walked in with one and the guy freaked calling authorities. My point is that there is no telling what could go on in the head of one of these employees that they could potentially call one on. BTW.... I asked if I could speak to the local postmaster, and he were it

Meanwhile the debate sounded a lot like every other post office debate. Maybe it's just me. Sorry for asking.

Even though the desk clerk is a dunce, I would hope that whomever he called (postal inspector or postal police) would know the law better.

What I was asking is how, if you are going to check your P.O. box or buy stamps, anyone in authority would have a reason to give you so much as a second look.
