A little nit-pick, I could not resist.
You should say "incompetent" lawyers. IMO most lawyers are not poor, particularly the ones working for large firms.

Thanks. I knew there was something wrong with that as I typed it, but just couldn't think of a better word at the time.

I had never really noticed it before. It looks like a company handbook is not proper notice unless it contains the exact wording. It doesn't even appear as though it needs to bea certain size or in English and Spanish. That only applies to signs.

So, we all agree one could be fired, but not prosecuted in a case where the employee handbook said no guns without the proper wording. Also, as long as we had not received verbal notification.

Very interesting.

To go just a little bit further with this. It has been discussed adnauseum, but my employer prohibits firearms on their property in the employee handbook. However, there are no signs at all prohibiting non-employees anywhere. Obviously, if caught I could and probably would be terminated. I honestly don't remember ever being "told" this policy. I've only read it in the handbook. Anyway, if I decided to carry at work or even leave it in my car and were discovered I think it has been noted that because I was not given proper notice I could not be prosecuted for anything. Now, if the proper wording were in the employee handbook in english and spanish in a standard 12 font that appears to be sufficient notice that i could be prosecuted for.

Right?

I was just wondering about this very wording Jim. It seems a bit contradictory in nature, but with the proper wording, regardless of size, may be legal. What if with your movie ticket they hand you a business card with this statute printed on it? Is that notice?
