Open to the public... thus store it in your vehicle legally.

That's what I'm writing about.   Clinton argued against his impeachment for taking advantage of his authority over his subordinate by debating the meaning of the word "is".

Nebraska Law, Section 69-2441,  does not mention a post office as  a prohibited place, but Title 39 CFR 232.1 (l) of Federal Law states; "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."

You are in your car driving on a public street. You drive up  to a postal box.  Your car is still on the public street.  The postal box is on the curb of a public sidewalk, within arms reach, and  at least 100 feet from the post office building or it's parking lot.  So, it is NOT on any postal property and you are not "on" the mail box, hence "on" post office property.  You're weapon certainly is not.

Or, you are walking down a public street.  After walking 600 feet you come to that mail box.  You are still standing on the same sidewalk you've been walking on for a  block.  At what point did the sidewalk become "postal property"?  600 feet away, 60 feet, 6 feet, or  at the intersection a block away?  If you are "on post office property" near that mail box then with that logic a mail box on a public street anywhere in town makes concealed carry  illegal anywhere in that town.

In Nebraska if a LEO makes contact with you while you are carrying, walking or driving,  you must show them your driver's license and CHP, and tell them you are carrying, if you are. 

But, an aggressive prosecutor ...

(Just think about it with out going D'oh! )

Technically you were carring an Explosive device into a restricted area.
Bullets (Rounds) don't need a Gun or Firearm to set them off ......
Just hitting them in the right place can set them off......Not a smart thing to do but (I'm just saying)

Bullets are not explosive devices.  Not according to the legal definition.

"... but does not include consumer fireworks as defined in such section, gasoline, kerosene, naphtha, turpentine, benzine, acetone, ethyl ether, benzol, fixed ammunition and primers for small arms, safety fuses, or matches;"

So, no.
