Doesn't specify. Just says 'government'. Which would include any and all government property.

Tell that to military bases. Almost all have firearm restrictions except for residents of base housing.

Correct, but Military bases don't have a regulation applied to them that specifically states if their law conflicts with local law, local law wins.
Post offices do.

Military bases can post conflicting law to local law, and since it is Federal law, it is then illegal, under federal law.
The Post office CFR Specifically states that local laws override anything mentioned in the CFR.

Code of Federal Regulations
Motorist Protection Act


A CFR is like a Code, or Regulation the Fed uses for some things. Post offices are regulated under CFR's

The MPA was a bill containing modifications to the statutes that was passed back in 2007 that gives an exception to people carrying weapons while in their vehicle.

Completely forgot about that as well.
So here we have 2 Texas State laws that directly conflict the CFR.

I wonder if writing the postmaster general about this, specifically asking about the CFR's Yield to local laws, without mentioning weapons, or handguns, or anything, if we could get an affermatice answer about the local yielding. Basically a "Am I correct in reading this, that <Cite CFR> States that if it is contrary to local law on any issue, that the CFR therefore yields it's authority to local law?"

Maybe i'll write the letter this weekend, see what I can get as a response, if any.

Under Current law, post offices are about the greyest of grey areas...

Basically, there's a federal law that says you can't carry in a post office, unless it directly contradicts local law, then local law wins.
The question is, is 30.06(e) a direct contradiction to the federal law? I do believe so, however, chances are you'd have to go to court to prove this.

As they say, IANAL, concealed is concealed, and you feel free to proceed as far as your pocketbook can afford a lawyer.
