Again, no case law, so Charles says it is not 100%, but his interpretation agrees with the intent and my interpretation.
...having read that thread, Charles said their INTENT was to keep the court from using a broom closet to make the whole building off limits, but offices where living human beings work is hardly the same as a closet full of janitorial equipment...and, since the law was written to protect courts, court offices, and the people within them, I don't buy that as explaining this...
...it is indeed ambiguous...and common sense is not law...I will remain of the same opinion until proven wrong...that's the safer of the two options, since it's far from clear in the law...and the clarification hasn't happened in 5 years...

...now, if you'd get off your horse, I'd be honored to buy you a sassyparilla...

Well, from my reading he still believes that the interpretation is correct, that only part of the building is off limits; however, he chooses not to be the test case and try to find out if his interpretation would be overruled by a Judge.

I think there's a difference between "a building" and "a building or a portion of a building" but if you think both mean the whole building, let's agree to disagree.
