Can anyone tell me what justifies a Sheriff to revoke a license after if has been issued?

(i) Revocation.--A license to carry firearms may be revoked by the issuing authority for good cause. A license to carry firearms shall be revoked by the issuing authority for any reason stated in subsection (e)(1) which occurs during the term of the permit. Notice of revocation shall be in writing and shall state the specific reason for revocation. Notice shall be sent by certified mail to the individual whose license is revoked, and, at that time, notice shall also be provided to the Pennsylvania State Police by electronic means, including e-mail or facsimile transmission, that the license is no longer valid. An individual whose license is revoked shall surrender the license to the issuing authority within five days of receipt of the notice.

Right, cause posting the specific sub-sections of law in question will necessarily dissuade him from reading the rest later.

the reason given was:

(v) .... not of sound mind or who has ever been committed to a mental institution.

who makes that determination- if they weren't committed and never adjudicated as incompetent...can this still be used as an explanation?

I kind of enjoy reading the laws, dizzying as they may be.

I'm looking into this for a friend- I was really disturbed by what seems like an obvious violation of his rights. I'm also quite surprised that the Sheriff has complete control without a court issuing the revocation.

That might be a slip on a matter of opinion, but then they'll just retreat to the character clause, which can simply be the repetition of hearsay anyway.
