New York City residents who want to own a gun may soon be denied permits if they are litterbugs, if they are bad drivers, or if they have fallen behind on a few bills.
Under proposed revisions to the police department's handgun, rifle and shotgun permit procedures, the NYPD can reject gun license applicants for a number of reasons, including:
- If they have been arrested or convicted of almost any "violation," in any state;
- having a "poor driving history";
- having been fired for "circumstances that demonstrate lack of good judgment";
- having "failed to pay legally required debts";
- being deemed to lack "good moral character";
- or if any other information demonstrates "other good cause for the denial of the permit."
