To quote a good friend lawyer. Those who live on the cutting edge of law ususally bleed to death financially.

I dont.
I was always under the impression (correct or incorrect) that the parking lot of a USPS was off limits as well.
As I am not a lawyer, nor versed in leaglieze as a layman....
Im not sure what the "meaning" or implications are of the part in red..
As used in this section:
(1) The term “Federal facility” means a building or part thereof owned or leased by the Federal Government, where Federal employees are regularly present for the purpose of performing their official duties.
I ASSUMED.... as the parking lot is OWNED by the federal government, and the parking lot is part of the building property,,, :headscratch :headscratch :headscratch :headscratch

But I do not know....

As always, Bad guys do not read signs or follow laws.
Good guys do and do not carry.
No Federal Employee (of which i am one) is safer because of this insane law.

When I need to go to the PO, I go to ACE and can carry legally.

DO NOT carry at USPS-owned offices.
That would be a Contract Postal Unit (CPU)

And good point, as long as you do not enter the controlled area,,,(not that they would let you)
it should all be good.

Is it Legal or Not Legal to carry concealed if you have a CHL inside the Post Office ?
No, federal law prohibits it
18 USC § 930 - Possession of firearms and dangerous weapons in Federal facilities
