To Wake County

Wake County Commissioners:

Despite being under a consent order, Sheriff Gerald Baker continues to drag his feet on issuance of both pistol purchase permits and concealed handgun permits. Purchase permits are taking nearly two months to process, despite the fact that G.S. §14-404(f) requires purchase permits to be issued or denied in 14 days, further stipulating that permits may only be denied only for statutorily permissible reasons.

When informed of his non-compliance with G.S. §14-404(f), Baker’s attorney responded: “…the 14 days doesn’t start until ALL of the information needed to process an application has been provided or obtained.” Translated, Baker is saying: “The 14 days required for applications doesn’t start until we give you an appointment to let you finish the application, which we won’t. So bug off.”

It is unlawful for citizens to buy handguns without either a pistol purchase permit or concealed handgun permit from their county of residence, meaning that Baker’s actions are denying citizens’ constitutional rights not only to keep and bear arms, but to protect their families at a time of national crisis when personal safety is very much in question.

If even one lawful citizen of Wake County suffers violent predation while awaiting a delayed gun permit, I will hold each of you personally responsible. I will be monitoring your actions through Grass Roots North Carolina legislative alerts.

Respectfully,

To Sheriff Baker
