Looks like the open carry soccer mom got her license to carry reinstated: Judge Robert Eby said even though the law required him to give her the permit back, he questioned whether Hain showed good judgment by ignoring other parents’ safety concerns. Hain said she’s satisfied with the result and expects she’ll be back on … Continue reading “Meleanie Hain Prevails”
To Josh Sugarmann, Bryan Miller, and all the other gun control advocates out there who are using the murder of Meleanie Hain at the hands of her husband to make a point about guns and self-defense, let me offer you an analogy and turn the tables. If Paul Helmke were gunned down in a robbery … Continue reading “An Analogy”
… of those gun control advocates who’s keepin’ it classy: As an advocate who debated gun control supporters, Hain was well aware of the facts presented in opposition to her views. Yet she parried them as irrelevant to her world, in the same way that the concerns of her fellow Pennsylvania soccer moms were dismissed … Continue reading “Sugarmann is Another One …”
The details of the Hain murder have been released. This is horrible. She was on a video chat at the time she was shot, and the person on the other end witnessed the murder. She was apparently doing dishes in the kitchen. The murder weapons was her husband’s 9mm. Her gun was nowhere near her. … Continue reading “Horrific”
The Freedom States Alliance tries to make the point I figured anti-gun groups would try to make. The Brady Campaign deserves kudos for tastefully staying out of it, rather than try to score political points. But one wonders what political point the Freedom States Alliance is trying to make?

One commenter on the PAFOA forum in the thread about the Meleanie Hain murder: I remember reading about her fighting the whole soccor game thing. It’s a shame this happened. I wonder if she just didn’t have a chance to defend her self or if maybe her husband took her firearm and she couldn’t defend … Continue reading “It’s a Difficult Thing to Come to Terms With”
Goes to Karen Araiza of NBC Philadelphia: Her gun-toting problems started about a year ago when Meleanie picked an ominous day – September 11, 2008 – to show up at her little girl’s soccer game with the loaded gun holstered to her hip, very visible and very upsetting to other parents. Gun toting problems? Speaking … Continue reading “Tasteless Article of the Day”
Apparently Melelanie Hain, who you might remember from a year or so ago, was found dead in an apparent murder suicide, after a two hour standoff involving police. The kids are apparently fortunately OK, but I feel for young kids losing both parents. Here’s an account as it happened. Looks like the husband was the … Continue reading “Tragedy, But Could Have Been Worse”
People are coming absolutely unhinged over this Meleanie Hain situation: “Come on, a 5-year-old’s soccer game?” she said. “I mean, really. But if she was in my club and I told her she cannot carry, I would be sued.” Gregg-Bolognese said some clubs have approached her about hiring security guards. Some fathers have threatened to … Continue reading “Context Again”
Meleanie Hain will have her hearing tomorrow to appeal her revocation of her License to Carry by the Lebanon County Sheriff. My previous comments on the matter a few weeks ago don’t affect my desire to see Ms. Hain prevail in her case. Whether or not it’s the best public relations strategy I think is … Continue reading “Hearing Tomorrow”
