I don't think that will be the case, as Tyngsborough is not a "Civil Service" town, The Town Manager will most likely fire him and then selectmen will confirm

No, Whitman is not Chinese. He's tall, but that's NOT him in the photo.
One "free" web site thinks they've both lived at the same address
in the past. I wouldn't bet my life on it being true, but it could be.
It's hinky enough that I ain't revealing my precise sources...
God damned riffle barrels.

Maybe they misinterpreted "whiffle balls" with the whole Chinese thing going.

Dealing with the Chinese is a bad career move for an FFL. The "Chinese connection" is what got Steve Holmquist, former owner of ARMCO, indicited and convicted on federal charges.

Tyngsborough Police Officer and Chinese National Charged with Violations of National Firearms Act
BOSTON – A Tyngsborough police officer and a Chinese national were arrested today and charged with firearms violations.
A Tyngsborough police officer and a Chinese national were arrested today and charged with firearms violations.
Daniel Whitman, 36, of Pelham, N.H., and Bin Lu, 49, a Chinese national residing in Westford, were charged by criminal complaint with conspiracy to violate provisions of the National Firearms Act (NFA) by making, possessing and failing to register short-barreled rifles, as well as possessing a suppressor without proper registration. The defendants will make initial appearances today in federal court in Boston.
The rest of the article is pretty well written. Purchased MCX pistol and put on a stock. Purchased lower and built into SBR. Is an 01 and not an 07 (cant manufacture). Does not have an SOT (cant possess NFA items). Gave tactical lessons to non US persons (chinese nationals) without the necessary export license. Overall, totally screwed whether through ignorance of arogance.
I can only imagine what the guys at the sportsman's club think of all this.
I can easily imagine what the officers at all the other sportsmen's clubs think of all this.
BTW...
Q: Does anyone know whether the ITAR training issue applies to all non-citizens,
or only non-residents?
non residents/non immigrant visa holders can not possess guns or ammo unless they go through proper channels and are doing it for legit sporting purpose, they usually have to obtain a hunting license, etc. Resident green card holders can buy guns and ammo, get resident alien FID card here in MA, etc.
ITAR does not apply to U.S. persons. That includes both citizens and permanent residents.
However, there are exceptions. If a U.S. citizen or permanent resident is working for a foreign government or even foreign company, then they are not a U.S. Person according to ITAR.
I highly doubt anybody would get in trouble for training, or selling NVGs, to a U.S. citizen who works for a foreign company. But it does technically still apply. Like, if person A worked at a defense contractor, and their spouse worked for a foreign company, technically person A couldn’t show their spouse most of their work and would have to ensure they always locked their computer while working at home. Make sure their spouse could ever see their screen. And no printed work papers (even unclassified) at home.

I know Bin Lu by reputation. He has been a cringe-worthy joker among ethic Chinese firearm instructors, showing plenty of safety violations in his online videos. Apparently he was uploading videos as recent as three days ago:
Chinese tourists/students/new immigrants bring a lot of money and shooting guns is the coolest forbidden fruit they couldn't do in China. I know many Chinese instructors try to tap into this market. Some are oblivious to laws, willfully violate them or worse even post evidence all over social media.
This isn't the first one get busted and won't be the last.

Green card holders can get LTCs on the same basis as any citizen, though I believe they have to include the permanent resident number on the application. Under Fletcher v. Hass this is limited to green card holders, and does not cover those legally here on a visa or visa free travel arrangement.

I imagine Leo would be very upset, and maybe some other people too, but certainly not everyone. No need for comment.
