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.
Per the link above:
What is a Contract Postal Unit?
A Contract Postal Unit (CPU) is a supplier-owned or supplier-leased site operated by the supplier, under contract to the Postal Service™ to provide postal services to the public at Postal prices.
Per
18 USC § 930 - Possession of firearms and dangerous weapons in Federal facilities
(g) 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.
So, in the case of a CPU, the property is not owned or leased by the federal government and they don't have federal employees working there regularly performing their duties, so normal state statutes, like 30.06 written or verbal notice, would apply to restricting carry at those locations. The 'controlled area' would not be off limits either.
