Do you know what the word facility means?

§ 930. Possession of firearms and dangerous weapons in Federal facilities
(g) As used in this section:
(1) The term “Federal facility” means a building or part thereof owned or leased by the Federal Government, where Federal employees are regularly present for the purpose of performing their official duties.
IANAL, so I'm not sure what "a part thereof" means.
..."carry on" sounds all chivalrous and everything but won't help you unlock the handcuffs.,
Indeed. It means a building or part thereof.Found the definition...
Yep. That's why I swallow a handcuff key every two days.

There is another new case going through here in Colorado that started after the McDonald v Chicago verdict was in. I can't remember the name of it right now, but I'll try and find it again.
In the mean time... No, just don't.
Right, 18USC930 is applicable to Gov't buildings. However, based on 39CFR232.1 and case law, I wouldn't carry on PO property.Without copying again the definition above, I belive he is refering here to "facility" means "building". It does not mean "parking lot" or "surrounding property, whether fenced or not."
Regardless, I think I'll wait untill after the latest case goes through the courts before I decide to make a stink and place my own freedom in question.

what I know is trumped by the law's definition. defined here
From another thread I believe everyone came to the conclusion that "part thereof" covered actual land, thus why having a gun in your car on a military installation is prohibited.
IF this is not the case, does anyone know what you are to be charged with when caught with a gun on a military base? any SPs out there?
EDIT: Any SP's that actually know the law?
Also, firearm possession on military installations is not prohibited. I've done it legally many, many times. It's simply controlled by the base commander and controlled by the base's regulations.
firearm possession on military installations is not prohibited.
The only base I know you can bring a gun on is Camp Allen for the shooting range,
what are you talking about?
Consistent with Grapeshot wrapping the tangential topic up, I'll send you a PM.The only base I know you can bring a gun on is Camp Allen for the shooting range,

I'm still not certain if one can legally open carry in a US Postal office?
Any information would be appreciated.
One might argue that the quoted references that end with"
...other lawful purposes.
Might allow one to carry on federal property... The gun control act of 1968 defines a lawful purpose as being "carry for personal protection."
The Code of Federal Regulations is the over arching guidance for the post office. As for Federal buildings, 18USC44 was quoted. 18USC950 also applies. In that law it states that it must be posted that firearms are not allow to ban carry.
