Open Carry Lady

So that lady, Meleanie Hain, that got in trouble for legally Open Carrying a firearm on her hip at a Pennsylvania soccer game, then got the people that got her in trouble in trouble themselves, has been painted as a lunatic, it seems, on TV and in the paper.

So she must be a crazy person. A nut. At least an unreasonable, harridan, right?

She’s not so crazy when you listen to her, just like when you listen to most of us gun enthusiasts.

She was on Gun Nuts podcast, and, other than sounding like an enthusiast (yay!) and a little nervous at first, sounded perfectly reasonable. My opinion of her went from cautiously leery, to optimistically sympathetic.

I hope she wins her lawsuit against the sheriff that illegally denied her rights. There should be repercussions when people in authority wrongly trample on, or deny civil rights of, the very people they’re supposed to serve.

  1. Should be repercussions? How dare you suggest justice! You know the worst that will happen would be they make the sheriff make a public apology.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
