I've read a lot of disagreeing opinions about whether it's legal to carry in a PO. I've also read the law and as I remember it basically said "It is illegal to carry in a PO unless you are licensed to by your state to do so and you have no intention of commiting a crime." Well, I work for the USPS and I KNOW I can't bring any weapons to work but we had a customer who asked if HE could. Someone asked a local police officer and he said it was perfectly legal but I wanted a definitive answer so I called my union to see what they could find out. They called the postal inspectors in Boston who transfered them to some hot-shot, head-honcho inspector who confirmed that I can't carry and he said "There is no circumstance where a civilian, even with a LTC, can legally carry in a PO and we don't take this sort of thing lightly." WOW! We're dealing with a nervous beauracracy here! My question to you is, do you think I really did get a definitive answer or was it just this head-honcho guy in DC making his own law? I've come to a point where I don't really trust anybody when it comes to laws surrounding firearms unless I find it written conclusively by an authoritative source. I don't like how the authority contradicted my understanding of the law as it is written. Can anyone point me to the truth?
