The state can claim your property anyway ( eminent domain ). I guess these laws and stipulations are moot if you work in a Post Office .
I think this is fitting:
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater...confidence than an armed man."
- Thomas Jefferson
That's why any crazy galoot cruising down the street can stop into virtually any post office and blow everybody away. No one there is armed, nor do they have ready access to any weapons.
More than one person has died in the last month because of the continuation of this mindless board of governor rule.
Wouldn't be so bad, though, if the board mandated the use of armed guards at all entrances to post offices. However, they've elected to depend on electronic key entry identity card control systems ~ that's so they can save money, though not lives.
