This has been an issue in Florida as well. It's kind of a little known subject since the media doesn't seem to want to discuss it but most of the post offices in Florida (not sure about other states) are not owned by the federal government but simply leased buildings. There is a movement to ignore the no carrying in post office rules here to challenge the rule since you are not in fact on government property. If they actually post no weapons on the door they could still trespass you but most proponents of this move feel the government building thing will not hold up in court. I heard of one person arrested but the DA didn't file, probably to avoid the firestorm it would start if they tried.

I would like to see similar logic, especially the wording from Heller, to NJ's "may issue" carry permit regulations. You must prove to a judge there is an imminent threat or even previous attacks. Almost no-one except some politically connected get carry permits. Why doesn't one of the large groups attack NJ law?

Given the history of Postal Workers, and their anti-gun policy, regarding shipping of firearms, I'll stick to UPS, tracking numbers, and a more "realistic" approach.
Received my Kel-Tec, couple of years ago via UPS, dealt with my Walther PPK/S recall, the same way, and my Sig 556 after a squib rd. All trips required service at the "mother ship", and had no issues.
Considering the financial status of the USPS, one would think, they would be more "open" to shipping whatever they can.
-
I would like to see someone challenge the USPS on refusing to ship handguns. My thought is the USPS is the delivery service of "the people" and anything that's legal to posses and legal to transfer should be able to ship by "the people's" delivery service.

I suspect they don't think there is a very good chance their employees can be trusted enough for hand guns to be delivered.

I really hope someone in this area keeps us informed on the progress of this. I DO carry in the local post offices as I consider my self defense and my CCDW (In Kentucky they are concealed carry deadly weapon licenses but that is for another post) as part of the "Or other legal purposes" area of that regulation. Never been challenged but also have never "advertized" that I carry. Concealed means concealed.

Here is an update on post-McDonald litigation:

So SAF lists current major cases and the NRA lists old crap and funny I didn't see where they listed their opposition to Heller.

Yep, that's about right.

Also, the linked blog is a great resource for post-McDonald litigation. One of the most comprehensive.

Now that right there is funny. You know those laid off guards are laughing their asses off. I wonder how much more per hour they got when they reapplied? ;D

Wish that would happen. I was one of the 27 men laid off, and yes I did laugh. Another weird thing was that after the Ingles supermarket guard was killed, Ingles cancelled their contract as well. Another post I had. ???

Maybe you ought to start a protection racket 2How, "Lay me off, you get robbed". :-\ Sad, but apparently true. It seems the words "penny wise, but pound foolish" are getting driven home to some folks the hard way. Hope thet learn the lesson and rehire you.

I think that's what a couple others in the 27 did. Or at the least rattled their mouths off while drowning their sorrows in a bar within earshot of someone that would.

Banks really don't care if they get robbed - after all, it's not their money, it's yours (well, taxpayer money anyway). As long as no one gets hurt they have no incentive to prevent robberies.

I do know why they always say "an undisclosed amount of money" when it does happen. Insurance covers it, but the PTSD that comes with it costs them big.
