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.

Take it apart. They can get the bolt slide for breaking the window. Barrel, grip/lower, and spring go in your pockets. I've never had a place turn me away after doing that. Government buildings though should have lockers. That's the most responsible way of handling it.

Cargo shorts enjoyer?

They're just so useful.

The lower/receiver is the part that is legally a firearm.

I've never had a place turn me away after doing that

You carry a lower into gun-free zones and they're cool with it? That's the same legally as carrying the whole gun.

Technically yes. In reality you just don't bring a gun if you know your going to a gun free zone. This in regards to private businesses.

But then you're back to "It's literally fascism if I'm not allowed to always have the ability to impulsively clear a room for even 5 seconds."

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Well, according to the NRA anyway.

[–] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What? A reasonable person with a gun?!? That's got to be enough to get you kicked out of the NRA for life.

Most gun owners forget the "well regulated" part of their favorite amendment. Every town in the Old West bigger than a general store had a prohibition on carrying guns in town. Concealed weapon? Straight to jail. It's evidence that you were going to kill or main someone.

Yeah well I started in the Army, without any NRA propaganda as a kid. If anything the opposite since Columbine happened while I was a kid.
