Jim Jordan for House speaker on a first ballot, signaling more turmoil ahead
The ruling came in a lawsuit filed last year by Joseph Srour, who was denied a permit to possess rifles and shotguns in his home by officials who cited prior arrests, bad driving history and alleged false statements on applications. He said notices that Srour received from the New York Police Department’s gun licensing division “are not models of clarity in explaining the precise legal grounds for denying his applications to possess firearms.”
