In the Matter of Jerald O’Brien, Respondent v. Thomas W. Keegan, as Justice of the Supreme Court, Appellant

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that a licensing officer must conduct a "proper cause" inquiry when reviewing an application to amend a concealed‑carry license and may restrict the license if proper cause is not shown. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Appellate Division’s order granting an unrestricted license and dismissed the petition.
