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.

    if someone perfectly conceals their weapon it’s the same thing as if it’s legal.

    Generally, and this happens often and nobody knows, but what if say a mass shooter shows up? Then the legality of carrying starts to matter, he is “free” to attack (free in that he knows it is a suicide so he is free from care regarding legal reprocussions), I on the other hand could face legal consequence for defending.

    But if, with all the adrenaline in their system because of what they are planning

    Damn dude what are post offices like in your area? Mine don’t induce production of adrenaline, it’s mostly just standing in line.

    that’s where the difference is between legal and illegal concealed carry.

    Well no, that’d be a permit in most states that defines the difference b/t legal and illegal carry.

    If it’s legal I don’t know if they are about to commit murder or not, but when it’s illegal then I know they have bad intentions from the moment I see it.

    No, you can’t see the permit at all, and you can’t see a concealed gun. You won’t know if they have either.
