That's the way law says it.

Not only does the law say it, but the penalties are worse. If you miss a sign and walk past it, it's a class C, but if you are told orally to leave and refuse it bumps up to a class A.

I wouldn't continue into a business after someone tells me I can't carry, I'd most likely leave and not shop there again LOL But I think it's frustrating that an employee can verbally say no even if company policy is different. I really didn't know this could/can happen, I always thought to look for the notices and that was it.

I don't have my license yet (stuck in purgatory currently), is this the kind of thing that you commonly run into? And are some places more apt to verbally deny someone openly carrying?

"At Walmart, the official company policy regarding open carry is that customers are allowed to bring visible handguns into the store, but that store staff are responsible for verifying that the customer has a proper license for the weapon." - See more at: http://www.texasmonthly.com/the-daily-p ... jQgHP.dpuf

Now, that's from a February post....but I would assume it's the same today?
