Yeah, if I were a Walgreen’s customer and someone with another business in the same center tried to tell me what I could or could not have in my car, I wouldn’t take to kindly to it.

Just like the new Seattle “rule” (not sure exactly what it is called, but it is not a “law”) that prohibits firearms at public parks, etc. IF you are caught you will be asked to leave. If you don't, you are charged with trespassing.

“The CODE? Actually, its more of a guideline.”

And the reasoning for this new law is what?

Is there a history of post office parking lot gun problems?

FUBO.

If I had a gun in glove compartment, how would they know?...seems dumb to me......

No kidding. The phrase “going postal” came about from postal employees going postal.

George: Let me ask you something: what do you do for a living, Newman?

Newman: Why, I'm a United States postal worker.

George: Aren't those the guys who go crazy and come back with a gun and shoot everybody?

Newman: Sometimes.

Jerry: Why is that?

Newman: Because the mail never stops. It just keeps coming and coming. Piles of it, more and more! And you have to put it all out, but the more you put it out, the more it keeps coming in! And then the barcode reader breaks! And it's Publishers Clearing House Day!...

Anyone can make rules;not everyone can enforce those rules.

Anyone noticed how many ignored the rules of the government in the Prohibition years?

The consent of the governed is always a factor.
