APPLICATION TO ADD HANDGUNS TO PISTOL PERMIT PROPERLY DENIED BASED UPON PETITIONER’S CRIMINAL HISTORY, DECLARATORY JUDGMENT ACTION IS THE PROPER PROCEEDING IN WHICH TO CHALLENGE THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF A STATUTE.

The Second Department determined petitioner’s application to add more handguns to his pistol permit was properly denied based upon his criminal history, despite the dismissal of most of the charges. The court noted that the Article 78 proceeding was not the proper venue for attacking the constitutionality of the licensing scheme. That should be done in a declaratory judgment action:

​

… [G]ood cause existed, based on the petitioner’s criminal history, to deny the petitioner’s application to amend his license to include additional handguns was not arbitrary and capricious, and should not be disturbed… . The fact that the majority of the petitioner’s arrests resulted in the dismissal of the charges against him, or were ultimately resolved in his favor, did not preclude the respondent from considering the underlying circumstances surrounding those arrests in denying the application … .

Moreover, the petitioner’s constitutional challenge to the licensing scheme is unfounded … . We further note that the petitioner’s contention that certain aspects of the licensing eligibility requirements of Penal Law § 400.00(1) unconstitutionally infringe upon his right to bear arms under the Second Amendment (US Const, 2d Amend) is not properly before this Court in an original proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78, as a declaratory judgment action is the proper vehicle for challenging the constitutionality of a statute … . Matter of Jackson v Anderson, 2017 NY Slip Op 02985, 2nd Dept 4-19-17
