 The Gun Zone RKBA -- CCW in a Post Office   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
While state law or carry permit restrictions may prohibit carry in a Post Office, I have yet to locate a federal law that actually criminalizes such conduct where state law and permit regulations allow it.
The statute tossed out in support of the proposition that carry in a post office is illegal is 18 U.S.C. This statute is also cited in posters typically displayed in federal facilities giving notice that carrying firearms in the facility is a crime.
In other words, if state or local law, or the terms of your carry permit, prohibit carry in a post office, then such carry is not "lawful," and the exception to the ban on carrying in federal facilities does not apply to you.

 Why do we recommend using Money Orders from the United States Post Office   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The advantages of using a United States Postal Money Orders are that they never expire (compared to as little as 6 month expiration of some other types) and that they are easily cashed at any United States Post Office.
Leaving the money order totally blank allows it to be circulated just as easily as cash without delay or inconvenience of having to cash the money order (Certain non-United States Postal Money Orders are difficult to cash.) This means that we can use it to pay expenses without delay.
At the same time, your rights to cancel it or report it stolen are the same.
