Federal Court Strikes Down Gun Ban At U.S. Post Offices

A federal court in Texas ruled that the long-standing ban on carrying firearms in post offices is unconstitutional. The decision marks a major Second Amendment victory for the SAF and other plaintiffs, though broader legal implications may follow.

DALLAS, TX (2-minute read) — A federal judge in Texas has struck down a long-standing ban on carrying firearms inside United States Post Offices and on surrounding postal property, ruling that the law violates the Constitution. The decision, handed down by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, comes as a major win for the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), and two private citizens who jointly filed the lawsuit in June 2024.

The court issued a summary judgment declaring the prohibition unconstitutional and immediately blocked its enforcement against the plaintiffs. The legal challenge targeted both federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 930(a) and postal regulation 39 C.F.R. § 232.1(1), which had long made it illegal to carry firearms in and around post office properties. According to the court, these rules do not align with the nation’s historical legal tradition and therefore fail under current constitutional scrutiny.

Federal Gun Law Overturned on Constitutional Grounds

The case, FPC v. Bondi, questioned whether peaceful citizens with lawful firearm possession could legally carry when visiting routine federal facilities like the post office. SAF founder Alan M. Gottlieb noted that no historical precedent supports banning firearms on such properties, adding that the court saw through what he described as a “thinly veiled” infringement on constitutional rights.

Although this ruling currently only applies to the named plaintiffs, it sets a notable precedent that could influence similar cases nationwide. The government may still appeal the decision, but for now, gun rights advocates are celebrating a rare but impactful legal success.

From a self-defense and concealed carry perspective, this case touches on a recurring concern: the inconsistency of laws across state and federal properties. Many responsible firearm owners inadvertently find themselves at odds with confusing regulations that shift from one building or jurisdiction to another. This ruling brings some clarity, and a potential path forward, for those advocating for uniformity in carry laws across public spaces.

Safety Tip: Always research and understand both local and federal laws regarding firearms before carrying on government property. What’s legal in one building may be restricted in another, even within the same city.
