entry of a judgment of conviction by any court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) Any state permit or temporary state permit for the carrying of any pistol or
revolver may be revoked by the Commissioner of Public Safety for cause and shall be
revoked by said commissioner upon conviction of the holder of such permit of a felony
or of any misdemeanor specified in subsection (b) of section 29-28 or upon the occurrence of any event which would have disqualified the holder from being issued the state
permit or temporary state permit pursuant to subsection (b) of section 29-28. Upon the
revocation of any state permit or temporary state permit, the person whose state permit
or temporary state permit is revoked shall be notified in writing and such state permit
or temporary state permit shall be forthwith delivered to the commissioner. Any law
enforcement authority shall confiscate and immediately forward to the commissioner
any state permit or temporary state permit that is illegally possessed by any person. The

of revocation thereof shall be guilty of a class C misdemeanor.

by the authority issuing the same upon conviction of the holder of such permit of a
felony or of any misdemeanor specified in subsection (b) of section 29-28 or upon the
occurrence of any event which would have disqualified the holder from being issued
such local permit. Upon the revocation of any local permit, the person whose local
permit is revoked shall be notified in writing and such permit shall be forthwith delivered
to the authority issuing the same. Upon the revocation of any local permit, the authority
issuing the same shall forthwith notify the commissioner. Upon the revocation of any
permit issued by the commissioner, the commissioner shall forthwith notify any local

fails to surrender such permit within five days of notification in writing or revocation
thereof shall be guilty of a class C misdemeanor.

required notice to local authorities when state permit is revoked; P.A. 77-361 required that person whose permit is revoked
be notified of the revocation and established failure to surrender permit as required as a class C misdemeanor; P.A. 77-614 replaced commissioner of state police with commissioner of public safety, effective January 1, 1979; P.A. 82-464
provided for the mandatory revocation of a permit upon the conviction of the holder of a felony; July Sp. Sess. P.A. 94-1
provided for the mandatory revocation of a permit upon the conviction of the holder of any misdemeanor specified in Sec.
29-28(b) or upon the occurrence of any event which would have disqualified the holder from being issued the permit
pursuant to Sec. 29-28(b); P.A. 01-130 added Subsec. (a) defining "conviction", designated existing provisions as Subsec.
