[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by SP9033</i> <br /><br />Well James read this, of course it only applies to the District of Columbia... <br /> <br /><i>TITLE 4--FLAG AND SEAL, SEAT OF GOVERNMENT, AND THE STATES <br /> <br /> CHAPTER 1--THE FLAG <br /> <br />Sec. 3. Use of flag for advertising purposes; mutilation of flag <br /> <br /> Any person who, within the District of Columbia, in any manner, for <br />exhibition or display, shall place or cause to be placed any word, <br />figure, mark, picture, design, drawing, or any advertisement of any <br />nature upon any flag, standard, colors, or ensign of the United States <br />of America; or shall expose or cause to be exposed to public view any <br />such flag, standard, colors, or ensign upon which shall have been <br />printed, painted, or otherwise placed, or to which shall be attached, <br />appended, affixed, or annexed any word, figure, mark, picture, design, <br />or drawing, or any advertisement of any nature; or who, within the <br />District of Columbia, shall manufacture, sell, expose for sale, or to <br />public view, or give away or have in possession for sale, or to be given <br />away or for use for any purpose, any article or substance being an <br />article of merchandise, or a receptacle for merchandise or article or <br />thing for carrying or transporting merchandise, upon which shall have <br />been printed, painted, attached, or otherwise placed a representation of <br />any such flag, standard, colors, or ensign, to advertise, call attention <br />to, decorate, mark, or distingui***he article or substance on which so <br />placed shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by <br />a fine not exceeding $100 or by imprisonment for not more than thirty <br />days, or both, in the discretion of the court. The words ``flag, <br />standard, colors, or ensign'', as used herein, shall include any flag, <br />standard, colors, ensign, or any picture or representation of either, or <br />of any part or parts of either, made of any substance or represented on <br />any substance, of any size evidently purporting to be either of said <br />flag, standard, colors, or ensign of the United States of America or a <br />picture or a representation of either, upon which shall be shown the <br />colors, the stars and the stripes, in any number of either thereof, or <br />of any part or parts of either, by which the average person seeing the <br />same without deliberation may believe the same to represent the flag, <br />colors, standard, or ensign of the United States of America. <br /> <br />(July 30, 1947, ch. 389, 61 Stat. 642; Pub. L. 90-381, Sec. 3, July 5, <br />1968, 82 Stat. 291.)</i> <br />[/quote] <br /><b><font color="red">Did I read that wrong or can you not fly a flag in DC????????</font id="red"></b> That would qualify as exhibition or display would it not? <br />James[C):-)]
