Respondent's determination is supported by substantial evidence that petitioner failed to safeguard his gun, carried it with him after work while socializing, and displayed it to an individual in a threatening manner. "[T]he dismissal of the criminal proceeding did not operate as a bar to the subsequent administrative proceeding or the determination to revoke the license based upon the circumstances underlying the criminal charges." ( Matter of St.-Oharra v. Colucci, 67 A.D.2d 1104.) No basis exists to disturb respondent's findings of credibility ( see, Matter of Lipton v. Ward, 116 A.D.2d 474, 477), or his decision that revocation of the pistol license is the appropriate penalty ( see, supra, at 476).
