Much jaw-wagging has occurred with regard to 30-06 signs, but I haven't read much about the other option: oral notification, as per the penal code. So if an employee of a business, for whatever reason, tells you no guns are allowed, is that sufficient oral notification?

A security guard does a quick purse-check and sees a licensed concealed weapon in your wife's purse. He tells her it's not allowed.

As you enter a building, an LEO asks you if you have a firearm.

I've entered some state office buildings where a state trooper (or several state troopers) ask for your ID before allowing you to enter. Since it's a peace officer asking for your ID, I assume you're required to also show your CHL. He'll see it and ask if you have a firearm, and if you do, he tells you not to enter with it.

...just trying to get a clearer picture of what constitutes oral notification. Does it have to meet certain requirements, like the sign? I can visualize some pretty tense situations coming out of that requirement...
