Is the Post Office parking lot federal property? If so, then are we allowed to secure a gun in a car that is on their
property?

Not trying to be funny I thought that a gun cannot even be in a post office parking lot.

Am I wrong?

Our Postoffice was put in a Strip center owned by HEB pantry grocery stores, the property is HEB's BUT the Post Office, bought one of the buildings , I think There was several stores, including once a dinner at one time...

Post office is on the left, HEB is stright.

Maybe the parking lot directly in front of the post office might be off limit...I'm Not really sure, but I carry in the parking lot, just park close to HEB store

If I have to do this, I either leave it concealed and unholstered, or I lean forward while tucking into my forward-canted SuperTuck. If it went off, it would go backward and down. I would feel like an idiot, but I would feel like an intact idiot.

Just to be clear, I'm quit comfortable with my holster, Hanks IWB, and what johnson0317, has stated more "a double thinking" and extra Precautions, thinking about piece of shirt hooked..I've only been carrying Glock for less then a year, and sometime can be said about being over being over comfortable or over confidence.. could pose a problem..

When, you remove your weapon, have you consider the video camera's everywhere... You may think your dark windows will hide you, but what happens if a security person see's you and zooms in.. Is this considers a a violation ? I mean there are cameras everywhere

Ok,
Just a question, there is another thread talking about, ND.. Here the question,,,

OK, I always try and take my holster from my belt when, going to the post office,tax office, or entering a customers home or bus.. or IF under protest enter in a 30.06 place

But, I have at times, being lazy just pulled the weapon out the holster, secure it..

Now, when I return, as I placed the weapon back in the holster it tends to really wonder how safe it is.. The holster is a Hanks IWB, and as it feeds in, it makes me look look really carefully if part of the shirt could cause a "ND" ...

So, How do you holster after removing your weapon ? And do you try and do it sitting in the car ? Stand up outside the car (what I do if I can)

I do really try not just pull the weapon but it happens.. how about you ?
