A federal judge in Florida ruled a U.S. law that prohibits people from having firearms in post offices to be unconstitutional, the latest court decision declaring gun restrictions violate the Constitution.
U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, a Trump appointee, cited the 2022 Supreme Court ruling “New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen” that expanded gun rights. The 2022 ruling recognized the individual’s right to bear a handgun in public for self-defense.
The judge shared her decision in the indictment that charged Emmanuel Ayala, U.S. Postal Service truck driver, with illegal possession of a firearm in a federal building.
Good call on rotating ammo. But the law says that the lower is the gun and guns aren’t allowed in the post office. So that part stays in the car and the rest goes with me. I’m not going to do anything that’s going to jeopardize my ability to carry. Getting caught with a gun in a post office is a felony and a felony means not having any guns at all.
Totally understandable, I was just talking about how stealing the lower isn’t “useless” as some have described it, since that’s the regulated part and the rest can be ordered to the door by a 12yo with mommy’s (or any stolen) credit card. And about how the law itself is irresponsible, as the best place for a gun is always its holster (or safe but ykwim.) Totally understandable to do it though since the law makes you, the law just shouldn’t make you and talking about that is the only way it’ll ever change.
