NPR now compares Meleanie to Sarah Palin: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=95026123

Permit Revoked For Pistol-Packing Soccer Mom

Listen Now [27 sec] add to playlist

Morning Edition, September 25, 2008 · Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin became famous as a hockey mom who knew how to shoot. She could probably trade stories with a woman in Lebanon, Pa., Meleanie Hain had a permit to carry a concealed weapon. But she allegedly had it in plain sight at her daughter's soccer games. Other parents complained, and officials revoked her permit. We do not have word if the referees at her daughter's games were especially careful.

:

:

V. : No. 2008-02149

Sheriff of Lebanon County :



Amended Appeal of Revocation of License Issued pursuant to Pa.C.S.A. §6109



And now comes the appellant above-named, by and through her Counsel, Worth, Magee and Fisher, P.C. and files this Amended Appeal from the Decision of the Sheriff of Lebanon County to revoke the License previously issued by the Sheriff to the Appellant pursuant to §6109 of the Pennsylvania Uniform Firearms Act (“UFA”) and, in support thereof, states the following:

2. In February 2007, upon application of the Appellant, the Sheriff of

Lebanon County, after conducting the investigation set forth in §6109(d) of the UFA, issued to the Appellant a License to Carry a Concealed Firearm;




3. Thereafter, by letter dated September 17, 2008, the Sheriff purported to revoke that license. A true and correct copy of the revocation notice is attached hereto as Exhibit “A”;

What I do not understand:

If a "concerned" citizen is so frightened by my open carry rights - they would call the police...

Now the police - feel a need to "take action"...

Instead of talking to the concerned citizen, so frightened by the concept that this is a legal practice... that there is nothing to fear... the police still feel a need to go after the firearm owner.

Why isnt anyone speaking to the irrational unwashed masses?
This is legal - This is our right...

We cannot be forced to live our lives based on your fears and obsessive behaviors!!! We have our own issues... Mine in particular is to protect my family and excersize my rights. My family goes to the mall... to the Walmart... to a soccer game...

How can we put an end to this nonsense... oh yes... we are doing it now.

Sad news just in on our television station that Melanie Hain was just found shot and killed in a murder suicide with her husband Scott. I watch the Channel 21 out of Harrisburg, PA which is local to Lebanon where they lived.
