The Second Circuit's decision underscores the principle that once a plaintiff receives the relief they seek, as in the case of Joseph Srour receiving his firearm permit, their case becomes moot. The court highlighted that challenges to laws must be based on actual, ongoing harm, which is not present when a permit is granted.
In reversing the district court's injunction against the New York City law, the Second Circuit emphasized the importance of allowing local law enforcement to maintain standards for firearm licensure, specifically referencing the 'good moral character' requirement.
