Greg Dupont v. Nashua Police Department et al.
In this case, the New Hampshire Supreme Court interpreted an important exemption to the federal Firearms Owners’ Protection Act (FOPA).
In 1998, the plaintiff, Greg Dupont, was convicted in Massachusetts of a misdemeanor with a maximum potential sentence of 2.5 years, making him ineligible to possess or carry a firearm. However, in 2005, Dupont petitioned the Massachusetts Firearms Licensing Review Board (FLRB), which, after deeming him “suitable,” restored upon him his right to possess/carry a firearm.
