No Guns at the Post Office Please...
 

Dropped off the mail today (that was before the training session https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif) and saw an interesting sign on the post office wall.....you can't possess a firearm on "postal property". As a licensed hand gun owner in NY I was shocked...while I can understand that some nut could burst thru the post office door and shoot employees or customers...it seems to me that person could care less about any laws. I plan on stopping back there tomorrow to write down the details from the sign and do some homework...where does "postal property" end?? at the door??.. how about down the street in front of the mailbox??? or in the parking lot?? how about post offices that are located inside stores and malls, etc...don't get the wrong idea, I'm not a gun freak, but I am a law abiding citizen who met all the requirements to have a concealed carry permit. I have taken the proper training and practice very strict firearms safety....I only wish they would enforce the laws that are already on the books, instead of adding more.

The postal workers themselves usually have enough firearms on hand, think they are saying they would like to cut down on excess!!

Wilma,

Yes it makes no sence at all. A criminal who plans to do someone harm is going to break all the laws anyway. Real impact is to legal concealed firearm permit owners, the irony being is that these are the people who can have the first chance to stop the bad guys.

BTW, not sure about other states, but here in Mass it is also illegal to carry a firearm into a school of any kind as well.

Tom,

That's a lot like seeing the sign on the bathroom wall
telling all employees to wash before leaving the restroom. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

The post office is just reminding employees that they can't
shoot each other..... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Probably a poor choice of words....some folks see gun owners as being extreme and gun ownership as unnecessary. So, let me re-phrase to clarify: Our right to self defense and lawful use of firearms is the single most important personal freedom to me. All other "rights" are secondary...when the gov't restricts or denies private citizens the right to bear arms, we are lambs to slaughter. It will be interesting to see how long it takes for Pelosi and the "new gang" to start going after our guns. Well then, I really am a "gun freak", because I freak out anytime someone tries to limit my personal freedom and my ability to defend my home and loved ones.

The Second Amendment is now in serious jeopardy. If we get a dem pres to go along with Pelosi, Feingold, Waxman,
Schumer, Kennedy, Kerry and their American hating comrades, law abiding citizens will be treated as felons and will become nothing more than unarmed subjects.

They are not American hating comrades they just don't understand the real world and the problems in it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif
