Federal judge dismisses charge against USPS employee for carrying gun at work for self-defense
USPS tells its employees that the U.S. District Court's recent ruling 'does not change the organization’s policy' prohibiting firearms in post offices.
A federal judge is challenging gun restrictions in post offices across the country.
U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, in a ruling last Friday, first reported by Reuters, dismissed a criminal charge against a Postal Service employee who brought a concealed handgun into the post office where he worked.
Mizelle said she dismissed the charge of illegally possessing a gun in a federal facility, because it violates the USPS employee’s Second Amendment right to bear arms.
