    Pelham man facing federal firearms charges after allegedly putting rifle stock on MCX

    Daniel Whitman, 36, of Pelham, New Hampshire, and Bin Lu, 49, a Chinese national living in Westford, were charged Jan. 6 by criminal complaint. Whitman and Lu allegedly possessed and manufactured items that are covered by the National Firearms Act, including a short-barreled rifle and suppressor. According to the criminal complaint, Hitman Firearms does not possess the required license to manufacture, or National Firearms Act status to possess, firearms regulated by the National Firearms Act. On several occasions, Lu and Whitman allegedly oversaw firearms training camps, consisting of shooting and tactics trainings, for Chinese tourists. Providing such trainings to foreign nationals requires a license from the U.S. Department of State, which Whitman and Lu never applied for nor received, the press release said.

    In reading the article it looks like they also may have been violating ITAR: "On several occasions, Lu and Whitman allegedly oversaw firearms training camps, consisting of shooting and tactics trainings, for Chinese tourists. Providing such trainings to foreign nationals requires a license from the U.S. Department of State, which Whitman and Lu never applied for nor received, the press release said."

    Don't the foreigners have to have a hunting license or proof of some other shooting event?

    But an unstamped SBR is an easy case.

    Not very bright but does lack ambition
    I’m taking a wait and see attitude on the SBR charges to be sure they aren’t hammering them for braces. This is the Boston field office, weren’t they the ones behind the brace reclassification BS last month?

    Curiosity - how is this different than the ranges in Las Vegas that allow foreign nationals to shoot?
