IN THE MATTER OF BARBARA PORTER, et al., petitioners, v. HONORABLE WILLIAM A. KELLY, etc., respondent.

DECISION JUDGMENT

ADJUDGED that the determination is confirmed and the petition is dismissed on the merits, without costs or disbursements.

The respondent's determination to revoke the petitioners' pistol licenses is supported by substantial evidence, and was neither arbitrary and capricious nor an abuse of discretion (see, Matter of Pell v. Board of Educ., 34 N.Y.2d 222). The petitioners owned a loaded weapon which was left on the floor of their unattended vehicle while they were shopping. The weapon was stolen from the car and the petitioners failed to report the theft to the police until the next day. The petitioners' poor judgment and failure to properly safeguard the pistol warrant the revocation of their pistol licenses (see, Penal Law § 400.00; Zalmanov v. Bratton, 240 A.D.2d 173; Matter of Gordon v. La Cava, 203 A.D.2d 290).

The petitioners' remaining contentions are without merit.

SANTUCCI, J.P., FRIEDMANN, McGINITY and SMITH, JJ., concur.
