Legality of police bringing firearms into federal post office
<p>Is it legal for all police officers in the United States to carry firearms into post offices, which fall within the jurisdiction of the federal government, when called by post office employees?</p>

<p><a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/39/232.1" rel="noreferrer">39 CFR § 232.1(l)</a> provides that:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law, rule or regulation, no person while on postal property may carry firearms, other dangerous or deadly weapons, or explosives, either openly or concealed, or store the same on postal property, except for official purposes.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Police officers on active duty, enforcing the law at the request of post office employees, appear to be discharging &quot;official purposes&quot;.</p>
