Concord Man Pleads Guilty to Firearms Offenses Charges

A local man has pleaded guilty to serious firearms offenses after attempting to acquire a firearm while being prohibited from doing so.

Brandon Dumont, 30, of Concord, pleaded guilty in federal court to making a false statement in connection with the attempted acquisition of a firearm, and possession of firearms and ammunition by a prohibited person, United States Attorney Jane E. Young announced today.

According to statements made in court, Dumont is prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition by virtue of a prior felony conviction. On April 2, 2022, Dumont attempted to purchase a rifle from Wal-Mart, a federally licensed firearms dealer, in North Conway, New Hampshire. Dumont falsely represented that he had never been convicted of a felony when, in fact, he had previously been convicted of a felony.

Dumont’s actions did not end there. On April 8, 2022, Dumont purchased over 400 rounds of ammunition from a gun store in Hooksett, New Hampshire. Just three days later, on April 11, 2022, Dumont possessed three firearms, including a revolver and a .45 caliber pistol, in clear violation of his felony status.

Now, Dumont is scheduled to be sentenced on March 21, 2023, for his crimes. The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Concord Police Department, and the Londonderry Police Department. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Anna Krasinski and Assistant U.S. Attorney Aaron Gingrande.
