Once you are verbally warned by your employer you are violating company policy if caught with a gun, not the law. You can be fired but not arrested. If you receive written warning in a manual or memo from your employer that contains the language required by 30.06 (or 30.06 signs are posted), then you could be arrested in addtion to being fired.

The way I read it is if you are told you cannot be there with a gun and you don't leave, you can get fired and arrested for tresspassing.

Correct, verbal notice under §30.06 doesn't require any specific language.

Hmm... then I'll have to get with my CHL instructor. We were taught that even just a verbal notification from the owner of the property or the company or whoever controls the property, is sufficient. Like if I didn't want you to carry in my house, I don't have to post a compliant 30.06 sign. I can tell you not to and that would be sufficient. (Not that I would but you know).

You are correct. There are two ways to give effective notice to a CHL under §30.06; written notice or verbal notice.

Written notice, whether by way of a sign or otherwise, must have language identical to the language set out in §30.06. If a sign is used, it must also comply with other provisions of §30.06 dealing with the size of the letters, color, etc.

Verbal notice does not require any specific language. Any "no gun" language will be sufficient.

Remember, all this deals with prosecution of a CHL, not whether or not you can be fired for violating company policy.
