Gun-toting soccer mom found shot dead
Cops: Pa. woman’s 3 children were home during suspected murder-suicide

LEBANON, Pa. - A soccer mom who gained national attention when she openly carried a loaded gun to her 5-year-old daughter's game was shot dead Wednesday along with her husband in what appeared to be a murder-suicide, police said.

Meleanie Hain and Scott Hain were pronounced dead Wednesday night at their home in Lebanon, a small city about 80 miles west of Philadelphia.

The couple's three children were home at the time but weren't hurt, police said. They were taken to stay with friends and relatives.

Meleanie Hain, 31, and Scott Hain, 33, had been having marital problems for about a week, neighbor Mark Long said. Scott Hain had left the couple's home on Tuesday, and Meleanie Hain didn't know where he was, but he returned Wednesday, Long said.

Autopsies on the Hains were to be conducted Thursday, coroner Dr. Jeffrey Yocum said.

Meleanie Hain made headlines after she attended a children's soccer game in a park on Sept. 11, 2008, with a handgun in plain view holstered on her hip, upsetting other parents.

The county sheriff, Michael DeLeo, revoked her gun-carrying permit nine days later.

Hain successfully appealed the permit revocation, although the judge who restored the permit questioned her judgment and said she had "scared the devil" out of other people at the game.

Harassment
Hain sued DeLeo in federal court, alleging that he violated her constitutional rights and prosecuted her maliciously when he took the permit away. She said that because of his actions her baby-sitting service had suffered, her children had been harassed and she had been ostracized by her neighbors in Lebanon, which has about 25,000 residents.

DeLeo said at Hain's appeal that he revoked her permit after fielding the parents' complaints. He said he based his decision on a state law that prohibits certain gun permits from being given to anyone whose character and reputation make him or her a danger to public safety.

After Hain sued DeLeo, the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, which says it tries to reform the gun industry through sensible regulations, offered to defend him for free.

"It is a case that calls out for common sense," Brady Center attorney Daniel Vice said then. "It's ridiculous to bring a gun to a child's soccer game."

A court hearing on Hain's $1 million lawsuit was postponed in May after an attorney in the case was involved in a traffic accident.

Hilarious.

Not as hilarious as poor dead people in Detroit but almost.

I mean, she owned a gun right? She was asking for it.

She probably owned a skirt too. Bitch is lucky she didn't get raped too.

Maybe she carried a gun cause she feared her husband. Is PA an open carry state?

Or maybe the husband got tired of her carrying the gun everywhere...

Him: "Hey baby wanna git some lovin in before the kids get home?"
Her: "Sure"
Him: "Honey,can you take gun holster off this time...it's just awkward and all.."
Her: "YOU SHALL NOT INFRINGE ON MY RIGHTS!!!"
Him: "Ok Ok...settle down"
Her: "YOU SHALL NOT INFRINGE ON MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS!!"
Him: "Fine...excuse me while I go bear my constitutional right to whack off in the other room. At least I can shoot off something in this house"

It doesn't say who shot who. Maybe she was the nutzo. I mean she did open carry to a kids soccer game. She should of just concealed it.

Sounds like she was either showing off or trying to intimidate someone. If you are going to carry, keep it concealed until you actually need to use it.

It's one of those things where...Yes we support your right to do it but we also must ask the question "What asshole open carry's to a kid's soccer game?"

Of course if its the case where it is a normal thing to do in the community then fine. whatever...But if you are the only one doing it and you did to "prove a point" at a kids soccer game.
You just may be an asshole.

Sounds like she was bored and wanted to start some drama with the open carry thing.

"Hey look dead people from detroit HAR HAR funny"
No I don't think it's funny to make generalizations about folks simply because of where they live. Unless they are from the bible belt or the south....or florida.
fuck those dimwits

I have issued a lulz in the case of Mrs Hain because there is overwhelming evidence that she was an asshole and her death was ironic.



your witness councilor...
