Let me get this straight. I'm going to the club to do some shooting but I decide to stop and get the mail at the local post office. So I park my car in the parking lot for the 30 seconds it takes me to check my box and I'm committing a crime? A federal offense?

Heretofore, yes. That's essentially what this case is about. There may have been some grey area when the post office shared a parking lot with private businesses. In any case, the court wasn't buying the 'sensitive places' argument for the parking lot, but upheld it inside the building. The government is appealing.
