Elsewhere, GRNC, SAF and the Firearms Policy Coalition settled their lawsuit against Wake County Sheriff Gerald Baker, Stafford v. Baker, for nearly $30,000. Most important, however, is the statement that:


“…it is hereby ORDERED that the Wake County Sheriff’s Office and Defendant Sheriff Gerald Baker accept and process PPP applications fully consistent with Chapter 14, Article 52A of the North Carolina General Statues, including the statutory deadlines therein, and this Consent Order.”


Said GRNC president Paul Valone:


“Grass Roots North Carolina intends to ensure citizens’ rights are respected.  The days of certain sheriffs ignoring state law by refusing to issue handgun permits are over. GRNC’s two suits against Baker are the beginning of what may be a series of lawsuits designed to extract compliance with recalcitrant sheriffs. Look for the next one to be filed in coming days.”
