Meleanie Hain Dead

Some very sad news:

Lebanon, Pa. – A Lebanon woman who gained national attention when she openly-carried a handgun at a children’s soccer game last year was shot and killed Wednesday night, according to police.

Police say Meleanie Hain and her husband, Scott Hain, died of gunshot wounds they sustained at their home on South Second Avenue.

Officers were dispatched to the home at around 6 p.m. and remained on the scene for several hours as they conducted an investigation into the deaths. Police, however, said the scene was considered to be “closed” and that there was no reason for neighbors to be concerned for their safety.

The couple’s children were home when the shooting occurred and are staying with family, according to police.

Hain’s concealed weapons permit was revoked after she openly wore a holstered pistol to her daughter’s soccer game in September 2008. A county judge later overturned the decision and returned her permit.

UPDATE: More here. And to the neighbor slandering her name:

Mise said she had a feeling something bad would eventually happen at the Hain home.

“She just wasn’t right,” Mise said of Meleanie Hain. “You don’t bring a gun to a kids’ soccer game, and you don’t wear a gun when you go shopping at Kohl’s.”

The problem here is not guns, or open carrying, it was an abusive husband who murdered her and then killed himself. A husband I should point out who was a member of law enforcement. You know, the kind of person whom the Bradyites say should be the only person trusted with firearms. Let the blood dancing commence…
