Gun-toting woman divides community
By Kathy Boccella

Inquirer Staff Writer


LEBANON, Pa. - Before heading out the door to go to Wal-Mart, Meleanie Hain fussed over her children, grabbed her coat and keys, then ran upstairs to get one more item: her loaded Glock 26, which she strapped to her hip.

*snip*

Hain, 30, has caused a stir in this rural Pennsylvania Dutch community 25 miles east of Harrisburg for packing a gun everywhere she goes, including to her 5-year-old daughter's soccer games this fall.

*snip* ((Get ready for this!! Her reasoning is, well, completely irrational))

Hain, who has children ages 1, 5 and 9 and a 9-year-old stepdaughter, says a near-fatal car accident 21/2 years ago destroyed her sense of security and convinced her that the worst can happen.

"I thought, 'What more can I do to ensure the safety of myself and my children?' " she said. "It's not a matter of being paranoid. People have smoke detectors and fire extinguishers in their homes. They're not paranoid; they're prepared."

No insult to the OP of that post.....that's what GD is all about.

Oh well, guess I'm the only one who finds this mind-numbingly jaw-dropping.....

Maybe I need to get out more...didn't realize day care workers packed heat?

2. What can I say....
"draw dropping" and jaw dropping.
This is just another example of a totally insane gun culture.
If you have a question? The answer is pack some heat....

3. She doesn't need a gun, she needs a psychiatrist
a near-fatal car accident 21/2 years ago destroyed her sense of security and convinced her that the worst can happen.

Damn, she could have offed that couple who supported her in the walfart.

convinced her that the worst can happen
So what is she going to get a sense of when one of those babies gets a hold of her loaded pea shooter?

5. You have to wonder if that near-fatal car accident
involved a serious head injury.

Certifiable nutcase, she is.
