ATLANTA (September 26, 2024) – Today, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced that it has filed a brief with the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals in a criminal case about carry on U.S. Post Office property. The brief comes after FPC filed its own lawsuit directly challenging the constitutionality of this federal ban in the Northern District of Texas, called FPC v. Garland. FPC’s amicus brief in United States v. Ayala can be viewed at FPCLegal.org.
“The United States has impermissibly deemed post offices, post office property, and, in effect, even the routes to and from post offices as gun-free zones for the law-abiding,” argues the brief. “The Second Amendment does not countenance such a sweeping ban applied to such unexceptional daily activities and locations.”
“People have a constitutionally protected right to carry arms in and around post offices. As we explain, the law Mr. Ayala is charged with violating is unconstitutional. We look forward to ending this unconstitutional ban nationwide,” said FPC President Brandon Combs.
