5.52.080 Suspension or Revocation of License.

Any license issued under this chapter may be suspended or revoked after due notice and public hearing before the governing body if the licensee:

  1. A.
    Has failed to pay the annual license fee;
  2. B.
    Has violated any provision of this chapter; or
  3. C.
    Has been convicted of or has pleaded guilty to a felony under the laws of this state, or any other state, or the United States, or shall have forfeited his bond to appear in court to answer charges for any such offense, if such conviction or plea occurred subsequent to or within the ten years immediately prior to the date of the licensee's application for the license. Any license issued under this chapter shall be revoked, after due notice and hearing thereon, if it shall be proved at the hearing that the licensee sold any handgun to a minor.

The hearing herein provided shall be held within 30 days after notice thereof and the alleged violation determined by written order of the governing body within 60 days after such hearing is concluded; but no revocation or suspension or surrender of any license shall impair or affect the obligation of any preexisting lawful contract between the licensee and any borrower.
