I don’t have the money but wouldn’t Bruen rule against the prohibition of carrying in the Post Office?

The statute would probably pass constitutional muster:

18 USC 930(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.

But the USPS regulations might not:

39 CFR § 232.1 - Conduct on postal property.

(l) Weapons and explosives. 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.

Possibly. There is not a current claim on post office carry in the courts that we're aware of....

In 2015 we had Bonidy v. USPS.

Tab Bonidy had a Colorado carry permit, and lived in an area where there was no mail delivery, residents picked up their mail at the post office.

USPS regulations forbade storing a gun in your vehicle while you parked it on USPS property. Bonidy sued.

He won in district court, lost on appeal, and SCOTUS denied cert.

I've heard of nothing since.
