The rest of the conversation is irrelevant. IMO, you have received verbal notice.

If you're ever caught carrying there and for whatever reason the cops are called, and it goes to court, that woman gets on the stand and says "I told him we don't allow guns here." The other clerk is a witness to that and agrees. You're toast.

That sure sounds like clear verbal notice to me.

Unfortunately, it appears that the OP has put himself in the position of being the only LTC holder who is now specifically and individually prohibited from carrying in that store.

And this is what comes of surrendering to the irresistible urge to give someone the opportunity to tell you you're not welcome. Silence, on the other hand, is golden - particularly when it comes to quizzing shopkeepers about a controversial topic.

And even although I favor the OC law, only a fool would deny that it is controversial. The fact that a significant percentage of the population is wrong on the issue doesn't mean that they are not agitated and not talking about it. And where factually challenged people are agitated and talking about something, controversy DOES exist.....whether or not it is necessary and whether or not their opinions are bolstered by logic and facts.

Since the law doesn't say, it would seem to me that it lasts until you receive a followup notice that you MAY carry. Pending that notice, the previous notice remains in effect.

Edited to add: the above assumes you received "effective" notice the first time.
