Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep. Vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin became famous as a hockey mom who knew how to shoot. She could probably trade stories with a woman in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Meleanie Hain had a permit to carry a concealed weapon, but she allegedly had it in plain sight at her daughter's soccer games. It was loaded. Other parents complained, and officials revoked her permit. We do not have word if the referees at her daughter's games were especially careful. You're listening to Morning Edition.
