Sarah Palin’s Parents Reveal Fears For Her Safety; Admit ‘We Sleep With Guns’

(By Mark Joyella, Mediaite) - Sarah Palin’s mother, Sally Heath, has told the BBC of her fears for her daughter’s safety, telling 'Newsnight' “As a mother I do have concerns about her safety and that of the kids… she knows how I feel, that it’s risky.”

Palin’s father, Chuck Heath, tells the newsmagazine a recent series of threats chilled the family, including a man who sent photocopies of receipts for a gun he’d bought, along with a copy of his one-way ticket on a flight to Alaska. The family reports the man did make the trip, and was arrested by the FBI. But it’s taken a toll. “We sleep with the guns,” said Heath.
