Judge Vincent Sgueglia, the sole licensing officer in Tioga County, was unaware that he could not approve his own pistol permit, according to a press release from the commission.

The commission found that he should not have used his decision-making authority for his own benefit.

The misconduct was compounded, the commission stated, when Judge Sgueglia accidentally discharged a revolver, while attempting to repair it, in his chambers during a break in court proceedings.
