United States Ninth Circuit

District court erred in rejecting legal alien's affirmative defense of entrapment by estoppel. The outdated version of Form 4473 presented to him by the federal firearms licensee did not provide him with notice that a non-immigrant lawfully in the US on a work visa could not possess or receive a firearm under 18 U.S.C. section 922(g)(5).
