TUSKAHOMA, Okla.—Russell Fincher’s fight with a government agency is something of a David and Goliath tale. In Fincher’s story, Goliath has regulatory power over stones and slings, as well as superhuman strength.
In a legal saga that began in April 2023, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) investigated Fincher for allegedly violating the agency’s rules on recordkeeping, and added a felony charge for providing a box of pistol ammunition to a prohibited person.
