Post office ban going down ?

[spat]

The ruling is obviously correct, but will it stand after all the dust settles ?

If this is eventually upheld, a lot of other bullshit would be on the chopping block too.

Ban on guns in post offices is unconstitutional, US judge rules

A federal judge in Florida on Friday ruled that a U.S. law that bars people from possessing firearms in post offices is unconstitutional, citing a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling from 2022 that expanded gun rights. U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, an appointee of Republican...

While there are obviously *some* facilities that need to be able to ban firearms, I think the right place to draw the line is at controlled access.

If you have searches and metal detectors, then it's a secure enough facilities to ban guns.

Otherwise, you're only stopping the law abiding from carrying.

If you have searches and metal detectors, then it's a secure enough facilities to ban guns.

Nuance: ...if and only if there is adequate staffing of men with guns IN that facility who can respond with lethal force as fast as you would.

I'll submit that by disarming someone who was armed, they have assumed a duty to act, and are culpable, negligent, or reckless if they are not able to do so to a similar level that you would exhibit.

Wait...

We're not supposed to carry at the post office?

 

[Dr. Evil]

Don't make me go postal.

 

[fresch]

Don't make me go postal.

Where it all started; by the government.

This might be a good to help all of us out, but again, I'm not holding my breath for anything till I see it in black and white, and the Cunt in Albany is kicking and screaming.......

I know of someone in another state who priority mailed a handgun.

When I showed them that you can't mail guns in the post office, they were a bit surprised. I mean, like who reads those USPS stipulations?! lol

I also know people who regularly mail lithium ion batteries and flammable substances like gasoline and alcohol air mail. When it's a big no-no to do that.

Well to me this is laws and politics not firearms in the news. All laws and court cases have gone here. I don’t look in the firearms in the news section very often.

Who goes to the post office anyway??

Who goes to the post office anyway??

I use the Post Office quite a bit. I also write a take and write a lot of checks too.

 

[gun_slinger_boy]

Wait... There was a ban on guns at the post office?

 

[Jmac00]

Wait...

We're not supposed to carry at the post office?

last I heard, you weren't allowed to even have a gun in the parking lot?

 

[Acer-m14]

if you can't carry a firearm at the post office ..

then how do you mail it ... ???

 

[Acer-m14]

"The judge said that post offices have existed since the nation’s foundation and that the federal law did not forbid carrying firearms into post offices until 1972."

something about going postal happened at the time .. or was it 1964 .. Watch Video

and then they banned guns from the post office ...

and guess what happed .,.

going postal got worse ..

BTW they were Govt Employees

not Us Civilians LOL ..

 

[VietnamEraVet]

It started because they give hiring preference to veterans, and some messed up ones that came back from war zones got pissed,… and some of them ”went postal” as the saying goes!

He's right. A basic security guard with no gun standing at a metal detector isn't enough. Anyone that wants to shoot up a crowd will just shoot the guard and walk in.

You could be right. I suppose it probably fits in both sections since it is both about laws/politics, and is new enough to generate current news articles.

Mods should just pick one thread and combine them.

 

[Apeman]

Maybe I'm wrong but I think that got struck down. I don't know the case but I'm pretty sure someone won the right to keep a gun in their vehicle in the parking lot.

Thanks to Bruen! Hopefully, it's another small win toward NYS and the witch Hochul ruling being overturned. Ya, I know...Don't hold my breath.

This Is Much Bigger Than It Seems... In today's episode, we dive into the breaking news that a judge has ruled Post Office bans on firearms unconstitutional. Where does this leave sensitive places?

Exactly, the same thing happened to me a week or so ago.

Much better to just moderate the thread titles.

As always, concealed means concealed.

Handguns and SBS/SBRs are nonmailable, but long guns are still perfectly mailable (as long as it's otherwise legal for the sender to send it and the recipient to receive it).

Edit: This challenge was actually in a criminal prosecution. We haven't seen a lot of these wins lately.

Here's the case: https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-dis-crt-m-d-flo-tam-div/115709647.html

The defendant was postal truck driver who brought his personal firearm into the post office, in the employee area.

I think you probably meant this, but "searches and metal detectors" is not enough. Armed enforcement is also required.

Personally, I'd also like to see such places also legally assume liability. If they are taking away our ability to defend ourselves, they should assume both the responsibility and liability of defending us.

 

[Grimscale]

Armed enforcement is also required.

And what happens when that armed enforcement is the cause of the issues?
