Soccer Mom Gets Her CCW Permit Back

Meleanie Hain, a mom in Pennsylvania, has her Second Amendment rights back, following a judge’s order to return her concealed carry permit:

She had lost the permit after other parents complained last month that she was carrying her loaded handgun in a holster at her daughter’s soccer game.

Judge Robert Eby says even though the law required him to give her the permit back, he questioned whether Hain showed good judgment by ignoring other parents’ safety concerns.

Since when to safety concerns trump Constitutional rights? Obviously, she didn’t violate any of the rules, so taking her permit had to be politically motivated. The person openly wearing a sidearm isn’t the person you have to worry about. It’s the one you don’t see coming. Then all the parents complaining about Melanie would be hiding behind her.

Great job fighting for your rights in Pennsylvania.
