No Guns at the Post Office

Please consider chipping in a generous contribution to help win this case.

The US Postal Service is going broke but they still have enough money left to us to infringe on your right to keep and bear arms. The US Postal Service says that you can’t carry a gun when you visit the post office, even if you have a concealed weapons permit. They say you can’t even leave your gun in the parking lot while you go inside and transact your business. That’s outrageous.

The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Unless you go to the post office to mail a letter, pick up a package or buy some stamps. Then you need to keep your guns at home. You can’t go to the gun store, buy a gun keep it in your trunk and then stop off at the post office, because that would be wrong; according to the post office.

The Post Office has no authority to prevent you from carrying a gun to the post office, if you are carrying a concealed weapon it is no business of theirs. The whole point of the right to keep and bear arms is that you can bear them, that is, that you can carry a gun around with you in places open to the public. The post office is not a secure facility like an airport or Federal Office building where armed guards are there to protect you. It is an open facility where any criminal or crazy person could walk in and start robbing or shooting, they will disregard any little sign on the wall that prevents the carrying of firearms, leaving only the honest, law abiding people disarmed; that’s the view from the Hysterical Right Wing.
