Jan 13 (Reuters) - A federal judge in Florida on Friday ruled that a U.S. law that bars people from possessing firearms in post offices is unconstitutional, citing a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling from 2022 that expanded gun rights.

U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, an appointee of Republican former President Donald Trump in Tampa, reached that conclusion in dismissing part of an indictment charging a postal worker with illegally possessing a gun in a federal facility.

Any update on this? Can we now carry at the post office?

Short answer; no - not unless you are Emmanuel Ayala - as it's a narrow ruling.

Skip to 4:21 if you are already familiar with the ruling:

Eventually, someone will need to come along with an equal protection challenge to have it extend to others.
