Opinion
November 7, 1984
Present — Dillon, P.J., Hancock, Jr., O'Donnell, Moule and Schnepp, JJ.
Application unanimously denied and petition dismissed, without costs. 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 [d]; 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, aff'd. 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). (Art 78.)
