Guns were first banned in post offices in 1972. No history of bans in post offices before then.

Many of our unconstitutional infringements stem from the middle 1960's and later.

What better place to carjack someone than when they are leaving a Post Office.

Isn’t the history that this was done because of Postal employees “going postal”?

Is my timeline correct?

We now have more than enough datapoints to show Judges veer leftward over time.

Methinks this is because of the profession, lawyers and judges believe they are the enlightened class and are entitled to make decisions for everyone else, and unfortunately we have allowed them to do so.

“Going Postal” didn’t happen until 1986, when Patrick Sherrill committed mass murder at the Edmond, Oklahoma post office.

"Guns were first banned in post offices in 1972. No history of bans in post offices before then."

I remember seeing the post master at the Forest Glen Station in Maryland with a revolver openly carried in a holster on his side when I was a very young kid in the 1930s. It looked big to me, I think it was a 45 cal. M1917 military.
