188 A.D.2d 284 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

590 N.Y.S.2d 473

Opinion

December 1, 1992

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Stephen G. Crane, J.).

The IAS Court properly determined that petitioner's failure to register his pistol in New Jersey before bringing it into that State provided a rational basis for respondent's finding that petitioner lacks the character and fitness to possess a pistol license. The credibility of petitioner's claim of having made good faith efforts to register his guns in New Jersey was for the Hearing Officer to resolve (Matter of Deitch v Dole, 159 A.D.2d 311; Sewell v City of New York, 182 A.D.2d 469, 473).

Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Carro, Rosenberger and Rubin, JJ.
