Shame on Channel 4
Brian Maass of Channel 4 has tried to create a news story because two Colorado citizens have lawfully applied for concealed weapons permits ("2 Nugs seek permits," Jan. 13). These citizens are Denver athletes who feel the need to legally carry a firearm for protection.
As we all know, celebrities are quite often targets of violence and mayhem. Law-abiding citizens have the right to apply for a firearms permit without harassment from the media. It's nobody's business but theirs.
Shame on Channel 4 and Brian Maass. While I'm at it, shame on Channel 4 for canning Stephanie Riggs and replacing their wonderful 4 p.m. news with Oprah. Ugh! I now watch Channel 7 news.
