I wanted to change the rear diff fluid on the $600E320, ordered some from the large wimmins.  Get a notice will be delivered yesterday, which wasn't 2 day prime but whatever.  So then yesterday about noon I'm sitting here, get a message that the package couldn't be delivered at the vast estate

I always thought the PO sticker concerning weapons was ambiguous.  It sounded like they were "banned except for lawful purposes". IMO, me having a CCW permits gives me legal rights to carry on USPS grounds, unless I go in to stick up the place, or am I reading that wrong? Granted I'd hate to ha

As I recall, it is illegal for ordinary citizens to carry firearms on post office property. Ambiguous signs are no excuse. On Fri, Dec 27, 2019, 00:17 OK Don via Mercedes wrote: > Does the phrase "go postal" ring any bells? > > On Thu, Dec 26, 2019 at 11:11 PM Larry Turner via Mercedes < > merc

So the loophole seems to be mailing a firearm. Maybe get together the paperwork and box with your home address on it, unload and stuff the weapon in the box, carry it all to / from the PO as needed. If challenged, "Hey I was thinking about mailing this weapon, but I changed my mind.". ---

I’ve left my gun in the car at the PO, never thought about the property aspect. I’m sure there are a lot of criminals around here. I’m not sure what having a weapon in the PO would do for you, at ours it is hard to see any signs of life from the “workers” there anyway. --FT Sent from iPhone

That’s too bad. I love our postal carriers, they’re both great guys and will always leave stuff in a safe place. Granted, my vast estate is maybe 40 feet from the curb, but…. I also like that they’ll come to the door and ring the bell for Priority Mail packages when I have one to go out. I just

The whole point is not having to deal with the PO, the local is totally useless, some Soviet-style bureaucracy starting before you even walk in the door. NO CONCEALED WEAPONS ALLOWED.   WAIT IN LINE UNTIL CALLED.   STAND BEHIND LINE UNTIL CALLED.  DO NOT PLACE ITEMS ON COUNTER.  And their hours

Postal regulations passed by bureaucrats carry the weight of federal law. If you go to a post office without street parking, you're unarmed for the entire trip or you're a federal felon, because guns are banned on all USPS property, including parking lots. I suppose you could just leave your gun
