The question is, what do you intend to do with that fruitcake?

You know, after he holidays we all have several tins of fruitcakes laying around that the in laws brought over. I just came up with a new idea...
Fruitcake expansion tests! I would think fruitcake is more dense then ballistic gelatin lol! I would bet the ones by great aunt used to make would stop 230grn .45 JHP.

Just remember: Guns don't kill people, fruitcakes do.
Here in Colorado, it's illegal to carry in any building where "Security personnel and electronic weapons screening devices are permanently in place at each entrance to the building"
Note it says security personnel AND electronic weapons screening device",........so, I'm not sure what that means as far as carrying here in Colorado???? If it's just a metal detector, but no security personnel, then I guess you're good?

Though I hate to use the "internet lingo" a lot on here.....
....I LOLed. Quite a bit.
So, moral of the story is that if we want to hide from fruitcakes or the tinfoil hat brigade, we should all just chill in a metal-detecting Post Office.
Sounds like a party.

The SS office nearby me has a nice lathargic, fat, sweaty armed guard that could barely cover a box of donuts, much less the perimeter. Sadly, he is there to protect the SS office employees, not the patrons.

You actually posess a fruitcake?
If you have metal detectors at the PO, you live in a place VERY different from here.

If you can make an aggressor eat the fruitcake with the aluminum foil still on he may well croak over. But as with any action of self defense the court will not automatically be on your side, listening to your testimonial.

That is not a "metal detector", it is an anti-theft device that was likely triggered by a magnetized alloy in the cake packaging. People carry metal objects into the PO all of the time... keys, change, watches, pocket knives, etc. If it was a metal detector, it would go off every single time a person walked through the door.
Thats the stupid thing about the PO no guns rule. They do absolutely nothing to enforce it... unless you consider that piece of paper at the front door to be "enforcement".

Especially since POs have such a GREAT record for preventing employees from going......postal.
I had a anti-theft tag in a wallet my wife bought me for years, I didn't know why I kept setting off door alarms, often while I was carrying, until I dug in, found a secret pocket, it was in there. I tossed it out, no problems since.

It must be that the postal service is getting tired of offensive fruitcakes

They also use them in my Post Office. I have walked through a few times and it DIDN'T go off.

I'm surprised no one asked yet...
Did you eat the fruitcake yet? I mean, if you're going to carry it, you should at least practice using it.

I once set off the metal detector at the Richmond courthouse with an empty soft pack of Marlboros. After the fourth trip through I/we finally discovered it in one of my parka's 14 pockets - the little zippered chest pocket in the zipout insulated liner.

A handgun properly maintained, will last almost as long as a fruitcake.
