That's what I'm suggesting. Local people being at odds with Washington is an old story.

Of course not. But it suggest one of three possiblities:
  • No one has been caught.
  • No one carries in the post office.
  • The post office is not interested in enforcing this regulation at the local level.

Here's something to think about: While the Internet is not a perfect source of news, it does disseminate a lot of information. If a CHL holder or someone carrying a weapon legally in another state were arrested in a post office, wouldn't we have heard about it? It's the kind of thing that the GOA and SAF get excited about.

Re: That Would Be

PC § 12.22. CLASS B MISDEMEANOR. An individual adjudged guilty of a Class B misdemeanor shall be punished by:
(1) a fine not to exceed $2,000;
(2) confinement in jail for a term not to exceed 180 days; or
(3) both such fine and confinement.

PC § 12.23. CLASS C MISDEMEANOR. An individual adjudged guilty of a Class C misdemeanor shall be punished by a fine not to exceed $500.
A 30-day term would be somewhere in between.

The important thing is that it would not be close to equivalent to a class A.

(l) Weapons and explosives . Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law, rule or regulation, no person while on postal property may carry firearms, other dangerous or deadly weapons, or explosives, either openly or concealed, or store the same on postal property, except for official purposes.
I have no idea what this means.
