Verbal Notice

A have a question for those more thoroughly versed in the law than I:

If I am given verbal notice that guns are not allowed in a business (thereby prohibiting open and concealed carry), how long is that notice effective?

Can I carry again next time I go? What about if the employee who informed me no longer works there? Or if the store undergoes a change of management? Is the notice good for a visit? A day? A lifetime? Whose lifetime - mine, the employee's, or the store's?

The reason I ask is based on two factors: first, I do not see anything in law specifying a time limit and it seems pretty difficult to enforce if I go to a given establishment say...once a year and I forget that notice was given (or the employee does). Second, if a business posts signs that they later remove, it is obvious that the ban on guns has been lifted, but there is no such indicator if management has a change of heart or the management changes.

This seems like an element of the law that could use some clarification. Can anyone elaborate? And if not, is there a way for an average Joe to request clarification from the AG?
