This is what is posted on the poster on the wall in the Post Office:

(a) Except as provided in subsection (d), whoever knowingly possesses or causes to be present a firearm or other dangerous weapon in a Federal facility (other than a Federal court facility), or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both.

Here is subsection d which is not on the poster:

(d) Subsection (a) shall not apply to—

(3) the lawful carrying of firearms or other dangerous weapons in a Federal facility incident to hunting or other lawful purposes.

I dont believe the lawful purpose has been proven in court, same with schools.. Seems to be kind of a grey area, and I wouldnt wanna be the one to test the system..

i'd look into that more if i where you
