And that is the part that nobody else here agrees with. You have not broken the law and cannot be arrested for it. You can be fired, but no law has been broken.

I agree that you can be terminated if you violate a policy like that. You are not correct on the prosecution portion though. Assuming that the wording in the manual is not identical to the 30.06 wording and you were not given verbal notice, then you have violated no law. If you are given verbal notice or the wording in the manual is 30.06 compliant, then you could be prosecuted. I know of absolutely no employee manual that has the legally required wording (someone else might though).

I used to work at Builder's Square (K-Mart owned direct competitor to Home Depot in those days) back in High School. I don't know as though I could have done my job without a box cutter and/or knife. How does that work at Home Depot when I see most of the floor associates carrying knives?

As soon as that policy took effect at my former company I tried to educate those involved. And they were using non-compliant 30.06 signs (correct wording, just too small) in the office. I started looking and did quit on account of that policy. Next question? Yeah, I put my $$ where my mouth is - except I got a raise out of the deal.
