USPS poster regarding firearms

[mr.72]

I think a key factor in this doctrine is what constitutes "official purposes."

Been around that tree a dozen times. I think they are going to interpret "official purposes" to be LEOs, basically.

If it is an agency of the federal government, then it seems to me that the conflict with the Texas law according to the posted CFR must rule, and it's legal because Texas law says so.

If they want to claim that the USPS is not a governmental entity, then they must have signage which complies with 30.06.

It must be one way or the other.

My point exactly. The CFR specifically talks about USPS "real property" or property being used by USPS employees. So given that it is a US Code of Federal Regulations that is dictating policy on the property of the USPS, then they are making an implicit claim to being a "governmental entity" by any layman's reading. So it seems it would be in conflict with 30.06(e).

The legal questions may come up regarding whether or not the USPS is a "governmental entity" with respect to the intent of the term "governmental entity" in the TX PC 30.06.

"Official purposes" would by necessity have to encompass receipt of and mailing of firearms, which goes on daily. If such is not the case, however, neither the USC or CFR provisions relating to guns previously mentioned would have any force of law without a specific exemption allowing carry of guns on and off property under the control of the UPPS. Such an exemption is hiding well if it exists at all.

Doesn't the whole thing about government property really mean state or other local government and not the federal government with regards to not being able to legally post a 30.06 sign?

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.
