Actually, most Post Offices are owned by private individuals and leased back to the Government for use. As such, the building itself is legally exempt of the Federal Building restrictions and regarded much the same as any other private establishment. There have in fact been court cases regarding this, especially those regarding people getting injured at the property and the actual owners being liable rather than the USPS, establishing precedent. Brandishing a firearm in a threatening manner in a public location or threatening a federal employee is another matter, and carries with it quite severe penalties though.
Almost complete bullshit.
While most US post ofices are in leased buildings, they are still federal facilities.
Please, as an experiment, "open carry" a shotgun into a post office, and tell me how that works out for you?
