My post office has a bulletin board too. But it’s a small post office with 1 employee.

oh we do have a wall with the FBI most wanted on it but it’s not a bulletin board. They are just right up on the wall.

Next time you're there go look at that wall because I bet there's a sign on there and it says no firearms

It’s not on that wall, if they have one it’s hiding somewhere.
The only time I feel nervous about disarming is when I go to the VA. I know veterans. We're an odd and ornery bunch - add in the guys struggling with chemical dependencies and such and it feels like it is just a matter of time before someone makes poor choices that threaten other people's safety.
The normal businesses (non governmental) around here that display the no guns signs don't carry the weight of law, so all they can do is ask you to leave & bad you from ever coming back. So I do carry concealed in those but only when I have to enter those businesses, I don't normally do business with those anti-gun places.

Yes, I have infrequently carried in places or events that don't allow firearms, fairs, parades, goodwill stores and the like. Never to a school or school event, too much potential for a "misunderstanding". The carry policy at work issue is a bit muddled, carry is legal in the building but only with an enhanced carry permit. I have yet to find anything in the handbook about employees being able to carry. One doesn't dare ask for clarification for fear of anti-gun hysteria. Was once written up for having a cartridge collection in my cube.

I'm still amused about the number of firearms and major firearm components that I handled while working in a couple of post offices in Alabama as a contract postal clerk.
Of course, these items were mostly on their way to the Anniston Army Depot or Fort McClellan for repair or disposal.
Nonetheless, the government entities could send these weapons through the mail while the public couldn't even bring their guns onto the property... .

I try to avoid business that prohibits my 2nd amendment rights. Sometimes I have to go and it’s left in the car. As far as other countries go I like to travel. Makes me a somewhat more “rounded” person. It also makes me appreciate more being an American (if that is even possible).

So long as that carpark is not shared with any other business(es), as I understand it.

My wife's cooking (especially this time of year when she has two cookie jars full of treats on the kitchen counter) makes me a "somewhat more 'rounded' person."
Well, that and the fact it's real cold outside. So, I spend a lot of time sitting on my rear end and goofing off on THR instead of getting outside and doing something.

That is force of law. They can't shoot you, but complain enough and you get arrested for trespass.
To the main thread: Wednesday I am getting in the car and going to Canada to visit relatives. Nope, no guns that whole time. Not a hermit yet.

Which is why both I and the other poster whose post office doesn't have signs, posted that we don't carry there despite the lack of a sign because we know it's illegal.

AZ actually has a law that public buildings (not federal, state can't regulate those) that don't allow guns have to provide secure storage for visitors' firearms. So, courthouses, libraries, etc.

I'm not so scared of life that I can't go where I can't carry a gun.

I pay no mind to signs. If someone sees I'm carrying and don't like it they can complain. I will just leave and be gone by the time any LE officer gets there. It's not worth risking my life to some dumb sign.
I don't go in any government offices usually cept post offices. Thats what CCW is all about, being covert.

What if one comes in while you are there?
How about risking your clean record, your personal freedom, your fortune, and for a lifetime, your right to have a firearm?
Many times in many places signs are not lawful. Of course this depends on your state. For example where I live a simple “no guns” sign isn’t lawful. I definitely don’t advocate breaking laws fwiw.
Like I said it doesn't carry the force of law, all they can do is make you leave & ban you from entering again. If you ever come back they can have you arrested for trespassing. They can complain as much as they like but it doesn't do anything, this is a gun friendly state. The only time you don't want to carry here is if there is a metal detector, don't attempt to pass after being warned you will get arrested. It's the only way they have to keep armed people from entering.
Depends where you are I imagine. As I mentioned earlier, at my post office, open carry inside the building is common.
Federal crime in all of the US.
The subject of local laws applying to federal installations is interesting. The conventional wisdom would certainly be to "tread very lightly" since violating federal laws (while armed) could find someone cooling their heels in prison for a LONG time if not extremely careful.
