PISTOL PERMITS

Regarding “Wake County sheriff suspends pistol, concealed-carry permit applications as demand surges,” (March 24):

During a crisis there should be no doubt about our ability to protect and defend ourselves and our loved ones, yet Wake County Sheriff Gerald Baker has taken action that could leave law-abiding citizens defenseless.

His office announced it will not issue new pistol purchase permits until at least April 30.
