Rules change for shooting outside of Federal buildings

->> I apologize in advance if this is a repost. I searched, but couldn't seem to find it.

It seems as though rules have been relaxed on shooting outside in public in and around federal buildings. This seems to be a positive move. I would suspect that some officers and agents will still simply ignore this bulletin, but at least there is something clear about it now.

->> Matt,

I think it's important to note that it's not a "rules change" per se. We've always been allowed to photograph Federal buildings.

This directive is just an attempt to get that information into the hands of some members of law enforcement who were, very understandably, mislead by an earlier DHS memo that cause a lot of confusion in law enforecment/security circles... (and, of course, the ones who think it's ok to make up their own laws provided they use the term "9/11" several times, very loudly, when spouting it off.)

That is true. It was a poor choice of words on my part. That is a great point.
