Not 30.0x...

Emphasis is mine...
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/930
(h) Notice of the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) shall be posted conspicuously at each public entrance to each Federal facility, and notice of subsection (e) shall be posted conspicuously at each public entrance to each Federal court facility, and no person shall be convicted of an offense under subsection (a) or (e) with respect to a Federal facility if such notice is not so posted at such facility, unless such person had actual notice of subsection (a) or (e), as the case may be.
The posted sign would reference 18 USC 930... At national parks, the signs look like this.... But I've never seen any similar sign at my local PO.

I hope I'm wrong as well! :lol:

I found out today that I WAS wrong about the parking lot having to be posted... I thought it did not, but, apparently it DOES need to be posted, as does the building, in order for gun possession to be off limits...

From another forum...
Full statute here:,
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/930
The application of 930 to post office parking lots is via case law.

Every one of them on our side, makes the next one easier for the next judge to rule in our favor.
I appreciate your positive energy on this Tom! :thumbs2:

Question for our legal experts: what is the impact of this for us (assuming it stands). Is it limited to only a certain geographic region, or does it impact the full US?
At the moment it impacts only the jurisdiction of the circuit in which the ruling was issued. More narrowly, it only has immediate effect on the case, since there wasn't an injunction issued against the law itself, only a dismissal of the specific charge against 1 person.

My non-lawyer understanding, anyway.

ETA... This ruling was at the District :Court level... Likely has no impact outside the District, beyond churning up the gun grabbers.
