(The local sheriff subsequently revoked her permit for showing "poor judgment; a judge reinstated it.) Hain was recently killed in her home by her husband, who was also a gun enthusiast.

Monica Yant Kinney: Firearms the problem, not answer | Philadelphia Inquirer | 10/11/2009

Meleanie Hain, an unusual character (she was a Hare Krishna) who became famous for bringing a loaded pistol to her five-year-old daughter's soccer game about a year ago, was shot and killed by her husband, also a gun enthusiast, in their home last Friday (Oct. 9, 2009). The children reportedly ran from the house shouting, "Daddy shot mommy!" The husband then committed suicide with a shotgun. So much for guns keeping you safe.
