STATE COURT CASES
ADMINISTRATIVE LAW — HANDGUN PERMIT — EXPUNGEMENT
01-3-3779 In the Matter of the Application of J.D. to Purchase a Handgun, Law Div. — Camden Cy. (Natal, J.S.C.) (15 pp.) This arose from the appeal of the denial of an application for a firearm permit. The seminal issue is whether a court, after becoming aware that a firearm applicant has a prior psychiatric diagnosis and commitment that has been expunged, may inquire into whether the applicant has overcome the psychiatric disability that would ordinarily accompany the diagnosis. Put differently, this issue requires a determination of the extent to which the beneficiary of an expungement order can rely on the benefit of the order.
