I can’t wait to see the hysteria from the antis on this.
Shall Be Questioned
Specifically, how does this Florida decision on Post Office carry from last year tie in with current practice resulting from the Texas case?
I looked and for whatever reason I don’t see where I mentioned this here before. Judge Mizelle made some interesting points– I especially liked considerations about robbers and Indians attacking mail-carrying stagecoaches and railway mail clerks with government-issued pistols.
And yeah, Bruen can trump Heller, and the proper period for text, history, and tradition is when the people accepted the Constitution as binding.

‘Shall Not Be Questioned’
Postal Service Employees are directed to refrain from confronting or engaging with the customer about the fact that they are carrying a firearm… Calls to local enforcement (911) should only be made if the person is interfering with operations or if the customer is acting in a manner that raises immediate safety or security concerns.

Just Do It
“The Postal Service is currently analyzing the court’s decision and taking necessary steps to implement the injunction.” [More]
Yeah, I noticed the sign is still up.
A Question for the USPS
USPS: I just came back from checking my PO Box and took this photo. This sign is no longer universal and a clarification is in order or else you will be deliberately posting bad information to the public. What are your plans for modifying the “No Guns” signage to clarify and comply with Judge O’Connor’s ruling in FPC v. Bondi and how soon can we expect to see that done in all of your post offices?
UPDATE
I’m delighted they immediately liked and reposted it. The question now is when are they going to actually do it?

DOJ Still Going Postal
Biden’s DOJ makes a final anti-gun argument against the 2nd Amendment in a fight over whether guns can be banned in post offices. [Watch]
Boy, that’s a lot of “gun-free zones” in the land of the Second Amendment:
Now superimpose it over maps of schools, parks, government buildings, “sensitive areas”…
So… when confirmed, is Pam Bondi going to keep fighting for this?

As long as Republicans have Post Office reforms on the agenda, when are they going to stop posturing for on-camera “Gotchas” and lift a finger to lift the USPS gun ban?

Well, there’s a shocker.
So, knowing such strongly partisan sentiment prevails, what additional audit measures are in place to ensure election-related mail is processed without senanigans? Any?

Creed Between the Lines
A Package Deal
The U.S. Postal Service has shared information from thousands of Americans’ letters and packages with law enforcement every year for the past decade, conveying the names, addresses and other details from the outside of boxes and envelopes without requiring a court order. [More]
Kinda seems like expecting privacy in that situation is hardly realistic. But it’s something to keep in mind if you’re one of the usual suspects…
Maybe when buying mail order items of interest, “gift” them to a pseudonym…?

Who Are You Gonna Believe, Us or That Lying Bill of Rights?
A recent Florida district court decision is being misreported or may be misinterpreted as holding that the Postal Service’s ban on carrying firearms — either openly or concealed, or storing them on USPS property — is unconstitutional. [More]
Well, it is.
Here’s one way to make it known.
