Wisconsin starting to Issue Gun Permits to Retired Officers

Why is it that some states have such a hard time even letting retired police carry concealed handguns? The story on Wisconsin slowly letting officers carry is here:

The Wisconsin Department of Justice has issued 15 concealed-weapons permits to retired agents, the only former state police officers to receive the privilege.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The Wisconsin Department of Justice has issued 15 concealed-weapons permits to retired agents, the only former state police officers to receive the privilege.

Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen said he hopes the decision will show other state agencies they can do the same, as allowed under a 2004 federal law. But most haven't issued permits because they say the state hasn't listed consistent standards to do so. . . .
