The only flag rule I know of that I dont follow is I decide when my flag is to half staff. I have a full sized and illuminated flag pole. CA orders it lowered every time a soldier is killed (which is politically motiviated IMO and a slight anti war gesture and I wont do it), I have seen it lowered for police, politicians I cant stand, etc. I'll decide, regardless of who orders it. I'm not going to run out to my flag pole every time some socialist California politician kicks the bucket.

I lower it on Memorial Day, Sept 11, and a few other times a year or if something real significant happens (like when Reagan died I kept it lowered the whole time or I lowered it when the Prez ordered it re the Pope). Its mine so thats I how I do it.
