While that is unfortunately true despite the constitution's obvious intent to the contrary, only federal law enforcement can do anything about it. State law allows it, federal law prohibits it. If I carry in the post office parking lot I could be arrested by FBI, border patrol, etc, but NOT by local PD, sheriff, DPS, etc.MikeyJ wrote:Federal law trumps state law. So the federal ban on guns in the parking lot of a post office trumps the state law definition of "premise", which does not include a parking lot.imkopaka wrote:

Good thing Texas law already protects us in parking lots, eh?
The Supreme Court has apparently gone postal, and has decided that you do not have the right to bear arms in the Post Office, or even lock up your gun in the parking lot of postal facilities.
...
The justices on Monday let stand an appeals court ruling that said the Second Amendment right to bear arms does not extend to government buildings or the parking areas that serve them.
