Won't happen. Property owners have a right to ask anyone to leave at any time for (almost) any reason.

And it shouldn't happen -- all it would do is result in more signs. By relying on verbal notification only, a property owner can make it case-by-case instead of blanket-banning everyone. Most businesses have shown they really don't care if you conceal carry as long as they don't have to deal with it - out of sight, out of mind. OC has forced them to deal with it whether they want to or not, and hence signs banning concealed carry often go up right with the 30.07 ones. Leaving verbal notification in means the property owner can quietly ask OC'ers to move on, instead of blanket banning

It's a shame, but from my cheap seat it doesn't appear that the efforts to take him and his allies down have been started soon enough and are not in-depth enough. I suspect there is some dirt beneath the surface with certain legislators dealings with certain universities, but the effort to uncover that got neatly sidelined with some impeachment (I think that's the right term) counter attacks.

There's a reason that incumbents hang on, and short of term limits, if you want to defeat them you have to learn to play on their battlefield initially, something the solid conservatives and Tea Partiers have not been able to do so far.
