In any case, I'm confident that with either CC or OC, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania is a much safer place than Chicago, where all guns are illegal.

Meleanie Hain, the pistol-carrying Lebanon mom who received national attention for taking a loaded gun to her daughter’s soccer game, was shot to death Wednesday night with her husband in an apparent murder-suicide, police said.
Hain, 31, and her husband, Scott, 33, were pronounced dead by Lebanon County Coroner Dr. Jeffrey Yocum shortly after 8:30 p.m. at their home at Second Avenue and East Grant Street, police said.

Yes, at least she got it back. Sure wish she could have defended herself with it. It makes me wonder if she got the gun back with strict intructions to store it unloaded and with a trigger lock redering it useless.
Sad that the Sheriff revoked it all...and with the lame circular logic of, "she was carrying a gun, so she must be unstable, and unstable people shouldn't be allowed to carry a gun".
I agree.. a state ID in thread titles would be helpful
Lebanon where?
There is a Lebanon, PA. Maybe near this place.
It’s in the Topics.

The obvious reason why ordinary citizens should be forbidden to own or use guns!!! D’oh! Time the repeal the Second Amendment—it’s anti-American!!!!
/stoopid Constitution-hating gun-fearing liberal off
Just because you’re “paranoid” doesn’t mean that they aren’t actually gunning for you.
This had been raised up to a NATIONAL story. This is a continuation of that.
Breaking news? Maybe not (since it isn't "developing" etc.) but I could see Front Page or Extended (since it is a continuation of a national story).
Given what I’ve read about this case I’m going with “She shot him”
I will gladly take my flogging if wrong...
While her desire to have her CCW honoured was appropriate some of her stuff was over the top..
no news I’ve seen is yet saying
In any case, I'm confident that with either CC or OC, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania is a much safer place than Chicago, where all guns are illegal.
My ex husband married a Lebanese woman, she has done nothing but cause family chaos for 25 years. And now they are divorced and it continues...
You can take away machetes too, and some autistic murderous sonofagun will just take a lawn mower blade, wrap duct tape around one end for a handle, sharpen up the other end with a file, and go split somebody’s head in two like a melon.
I’m surprised they aren’t hinting that he took her gun away from her and then used it on her and then used it on himself, being as that’s one of their more common memes as to why people shouldn’t arm themselves.
But people kill people. Sad, but true. As you point out, taking away one tool is not a real solution. There are plenty of other tools that come to hand.
That *belongs* in Breaking News. It's obviously one of those "shovel-ready" jobs Obama is always talking about.
Cheers!
Lebanon, the city in Pennsylvania, not the country in the Mid East.
“...was shot to death Wednesday night with her husband in an apparent murder-suicide...”
Yes, very poor writing.
Whoops, I am sure there are wonderful people that live in the Middle East, just that my personal experience has been horrible.
"Great game, Pa."
"Boys, I'm concerned we're not using common sense carrying these guns around..."
They probably were. If you go to the linked article, it has a link to an update. There it is revealed the husband was the shooter, and also that the husband was a Dept. of Corrections employee, and in most states he would have been licensed to carry by default.
It is also said they had been separated and she was seeking a protection order against him (which would have, under Lautenberg, revoked his ability to carry a weapon).
So, how about scenario D? Say, he knew or believed he was about to ruined professionally (most recently in probation/parole, earlier in prisons), and brought his revenge in the form of a final act.
One thing is sure, there's plenty of bitter irony to go around in this story as it unfolds.
