Decision Date07 November 1984
CourtNew York Supreme Court Appellate Division

Antonio Faga by Keith Eisenhut, Utica, for petitioner.

Robert Abrams, Atty. Gen. by Vernon Stuart, Albany, for respondent.

Before DILLON, P.J., and HANCOCK, O'DONNELL, MOULE and SCHNEPP, JJ.

MEMORANDUM:

Petitioner seeks review of the determination of the Oneida County Pistol Licensing Officer revoking his pistol license. We find that the officer's determination that "good cause exists for the revocation of this licensee's pistol license" is supported by the record and that the officer properly exercised his discretion. "It is clear that a pistol license may be denied for any good cause (Penal Law, § 400.00, subd. 1, par. cf. Matter of Barton Trucking Corp. v. O'Connell, 7 N.Y.2d 299 ), and it is equally clear that the licensing officer has a great deal of discretion in deciding whether a pistol license should be granted to a particular applicant (Matter of Hunt v. Rubin, 52 A.D.2d 955 Matter of Moore v. Gallup, 267 App.Div. 64 affd. 293 N.Y. 846 Matter of Sheriff v. Codd, 83 Misc.2d 625 Klapper v. Codd, 78 Misc.2d 377 )" (Matter of Davis v. Clyne, 58 A.D.2d 947, 397 N.Y.S.2d 186). (Art. 78).

Application unanimously denied and petition dismissed without costs.
