DIANA E. MURPHY, Circuit Judge.
Appellant Harold Kistner received a ticket for distributing printed matter without a permit at the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. A magistrate judge found Kistner guilty of violating 36 C.F.R. § 2.52(a), a petty offense, and fined him $50.00; 1 his conviction was affirmed by the district court. 2 Kistner admits that he distributed pamphlets without a permit and that he did not apply for one, but he claims that his noncompliance with the permit requirement was justified under the First Amendment. We affirm for the reasons discussed below.
