Gun-toting soccer mom, husband found shot dead - USATODAY.com

LEBANON, Pa. (AP) — 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, about 80 miles west of Philadelphia.

According to the Lebanon Daily News, several neighbors said they witnessed the children, ages 2, 6 and 10, run from the house shouting, "Daddy shot Mommy!" shortly before 911 was called at 6:20 p.m.

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.

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.

The Daily News reported that Meleanie Hain had operated a day-care center in her home. Her husband was a Berks County parole officer and a former prison guard.

Debbie Mise, who lives three doors away from the Hain house, told the Daily News she felt something bad would eventually happen at the Hain residence.

"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."

I'm not sure what to think other than I wouldn't want my kids around someone carrying a gun (I don't have any kids just yet but still) ... and maybe she should have taken the other parents' and children into consideration.

It's fine and all to own guns imo, but is it really necessary to take it to your kids soccer game.

Also, suing for $1M because of your own actions is lulz.

her husband did us all a favor, even tho i got this image that hes probably a lil sissy bitch and she probably wears the pants in the family, he probably got fed up with her bullshit and took her and himself out of pity lol

Matej · 10-08-2009, 11:26 PM

She probably thought she was so cool.

Only people with guns get shot.

ronmcdon · 10-09-2009, 12:17 AM

There surely is something very wrong with that women.
As if it isn't already overkill to bring a gun to a soccer match,
you have to somehow choose to display it like some trophy.

And what the hell for?
So you can shoot some evil-doer hiding in the bushes, from attacking your kids at the soccer game?
How inconsiderate.

**mrmephistopheles** · 10-09-2009, 12:21 AM

While I have mixed feelings about her open-carrying to a soccer game/practice, it's clear that at least one of them let their emotions get the better of them. How stupid.
I'm glad the gene pool is now clear of them, but I feel bad for their kids.
This anomaly of 'stupid gun owner' will only lead to more retarded gun control legislation.

Agreed, agreed, and agreed. I hate it when stupid people make everyone who carries guns look bad.

Either way, sucks for the kids, but I'm glad they won't be having any more.

She probably thought the other parents would oggle her gun and be like, "Wow, what a nice piece! It really complements your figure."

They still won even though they lost... lol

tricky_ab · 10-09-2009, 11:23 AM

Hopefully the kids find good foster parents. They will probably be better off now (at least the younger ones).

sidewaysil80 · 10-09-2009, 12:01 PM

x3. Just look at her. She obviously was starving for attention and probably never shut up about it.

ixfxi · 10-09-2009, 03:07 PM

I dont own a gun.

I've never needed a gun.

Why does this fat-arm'ed woman go to a soccer game armed with a pistol?

For the first time in my life, and I cant believe I am saying this....

....but I'm actually glad to be from LA.

I've owned one, and a buddy of mine owned two, and we both had tons of problems with jams. We tried cleaning it after every shoot, cleaning after every few shoots, and not cleaning it for 1000 rounds or so, and we'd still get jams every two or three clips - sometimes more than one jam in a clip!

This was with reloaded ammo, so it's possible they're just really picky on brass, but not likely.

Anyway, I love how they feel and shoot for a mid-frame .40 or .45, but I prefer my trusty S&W Sigma for CC (little smaller, never has jammed, and no externals safeties).

sevenstar · 10-09-2009, 03:28 PM

SexPanda · 10-09-2009, 03:40 PM

At least it'll save the department some money to deal with other idiots.

Sleepy240 · 10-09-2009, 05:25 PM

I think its funny that people think that this is "darwinism" or something of the like. The woman did not do anything to deserve being murdered... She did not shoot anybody, or for that matter HARM anybody. She was murdered in cold blood for no apparent reason.

I don't know her reasoning for carrying her pistol in the open but you carry "EVERYWHERE" you go, so obviously you understand the protection a weapon of this magnitude provides. For all you know she was beaten, mugged and left for dead, and thats her reasoning for carrying. If it were me somebody openly carrying would instantly deter me. What do the kids have to do with anything? Most kids have already been exposed to weapons in both video games, TV, Movies, the Internet, and the News. As long as the parents take proper care of the weapon and keep it out of the POSSESION of the minors whats the big deal?
