Newsday's story states that full carry pistol licenses are "a privilege typically reserved for retired law enforcement officers" ["Nassau gun licenses: 24 improperly granted," News, April 6].
Wrong! This is a right guaranteed to everyone by the Constitution, yet routinely, and with impunity, denied by Nassau County.
