Not to argue with the Boss, but:
I guess I misunderstood in that I thought anything in the Code of Federal Regulations had to have a corresponding entry in the U.S. Code for it to be enforceable. If that were correct, the CFR would not override the USC.
Also, with respect to "incident to". When was hunting ever allowed in the Post Office? The intent had to have been to protect someone who had been or was going hunting and happened to stop at the post office. So their shotgun was also not incident to buying stamps, yet they were exempt.

Re: Post office carry
To many of us, yes! That is why there will always be disagreement on this issue until it is addressed by the legislatures.mbw wrote:Doesn't a CHL fall under "other Lawful Purpose"?

A search on "post office" will return hours of reading, all of which will still be inconclusive.The Post Office Department was transformed into the United States Postal Service, an independent establishment of the executive branch of the Government of the United States. The mission of the Postal Service remained the same, as stated in Title 39 of the U.S. Code:
The Postal Service shall have as its basic function the obligation to provide postal services to bind the Nation together through the personal, educational, literary, and business correspondence of the people. It shall provide prompt, reliable, and efficient services to patrons in all areas and shall render postal services to all communities.
The new Postal Service officially began operations on July 1, 1971, when the Postmaster General ceased to be a member of the President’s Cabinet.
But it is definitely a government agency with facilities owned by the federal government.
