Comment(by rmercer):

 Sorry about the error with the shapefile.  I uploaded a new zip that
 contains all of the necessary files, shp, shx, dbf and a prj file.

 I tried what you said, and went into the CRS tab under options and changed
 it to prompt for a CRS if one is missing.  I then closed QGIS completely
 and opened it again.  I added the same layer that I have uploaded, one
 that I confirm has a valid projection.  It still asks me for a CRS

 So, the problem is not how it is treating a shapefile that is missing a
 CRS, it is the fact it does not recognize a shapefile that currently has a
 CRS.
