Gun-Control Fanatic was a Victim of Domestic Violence
By Liza Cooper | October 10, 2009
Domestic violence is usually kept in secrecy–the batterer wants to maintain control over his victim and his victim is either threatened, intimidated, or made to feel guilt or shame. But from time-to-time, a case hits the headlines. And when it does you can learn how domestic violence works and get suggestions about action to take.
In this case, Meleanie Hain, a Lebanon, PA woman was shot to death by her husband, who later took his own life. She had made the national news a year ago when she insisted on her right to carry her Glock handgun with her to her daughter’s soccer game.
Many people took her to be a pro-gun fanatic, but in retrospect it is easier to see that her swagger was a disguised call for help.
