I remember watching this story, sad to hear what happened to her.

OCDO is having quite the forum commentary running.
We all know that bad things happen to good people. But how do you prepare for those bad things to come from someone you trust? She was a true champion for personal responsibility, family protection, and defensive carry overall. She will be truly missed.

Sigh.

Sounds like the husband (the cop) shot her.

But of course the blame will be on her because she openly carried, even though that had nothing to do with this.

It's very sad.

Ah beans I posted this same article in the 2A section. It is terrible indeed.

Well from what I understand she had a 1 million dollar lawsuit filed against the sheriff..and I assume the county for the decision to revoke/violate her rights after she open-carried to the soccer game. Her attorney stated that she told him the couple was seperating and she wanted the husband removed from the lawsuit. So that indicative of the problems at home and what probably happened.

That said this incident will probably used as anti gun propaganda sadly. Heres a CNN link with some details about the lawsuit and seperation

Melaine Hain was a fellow member of PAFOA and PA Open Carry. She is tremendously missed already. All of us who OC in PA owe her a debt that can never be repaid. R.I.P. Shefearsnothing. :cry2:
