Let's be realistic here. The crime is defined as entering the property (armed) when you had notice that the owner didn't want you to...If the ownership changed after you were notified that the previous owner didn't want you there...the clock would reset. If the owner changed her mind, the clock would reset...though you might not know.

If there was a sign AND you got oral notice, then the sign was taken down, is it incumbent upon you to ask if you can come back, or is it incumbent on the owner to prove she STILL didn't want you on the property (while carrying)? Bottom line, carry concealed as long as there is no sign, and you're unlikely to ever receive oral notice.

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?

The notice is permanent.

Permanently presuming that the person who gave the notice could prove that they gave it, and that the owner still intended it to be in effect. Then the oral notice would last as long as they maintained the policy and ownership. You can't make a blanket statement that it's permanent without considering all the facts.

The case law that's been cited with regards to this relates to 30.05 trespass notice being given and a person returning to the same location, under the same ownership ~1 year later and he was convicted.
