Can a federal firearms licensee be considered a government official for purposes of the defense of entrapment by estoppel?

In United States v. Tallmadge, 829 F.2d 767 (9th Cir.1987), we held that a federal firearms licensee may be considered a government official for purposes of the defense of entrapment by estoppel.
