Retired officers slowly allowed to carry concealed weapons

It is hard for me to understand why police agencies make it difficult for off-duty or retired police to carry guns.

Dozens of other Wisconsin police agencies have so far balked at implementing the law, which allows qualified retired police officers and sheriff's deputies to carry firearms even in states such as Wisconsin that have concealed carry bans.

The agencies say they do not want to be held liable for potentially deadly incidents involving their former workers.
