Justice Department Says You Can Carry for Self-Defense in a Post Office, and the Postal Service Ban Cannot Be Enforced
The Justice Department’s opinion states that carrying a firearm into a post office for self-defense is permissible under certain conditions.
Federal law, specifically 18 U.S.C. § 930, prohibits firearms in federal facilities but has exceptions for lawful carrying purposes.
The opinion suggests that self-defense qualifies as a lawful purpose, countering previous narrow interpretations of the law.
The Postal Service’s regulation against firearms lacks an exception for self-defense, making it potentially unenforceable for law-abiding citizens.
This opinion is an internal legal interpretation and not a court ruling, meaning it does not bind the judiciary.
