IN THE MATTER OF THE DENIAL OF THE APPLICATION BY GEORGE WINSTON, JR., FOR A FIREARMS PURCHASER IDENTIFICATION CARD A-1512-12T1

IN THE MATTER OF THE DENIAL OF THE APPLICATION BY GEORGE WINSTON, JR., FOR A FIREARMS PURCHASER IDENTIFICATION CARD 
A-1512-12T1 

The question presented by this appeal is whether the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the United States Constitution requires New Jersey to treat appellant George Winston's New York criminal convictions, for which he has obtained certificates of relief from disabilities, as not disqualifying him from obtaining a firearms purchaser identification card or a permit to purchase a handgun under N.J.S.A. 2C:58-3c(1). We conclude that the Constitution does not compel that result and affirm the denial of those firearms permits.
