Does a two-level enhancement under U.S.G. 2D1.1 for possessing a firearm in connection with the possession of a firearm?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Sandoval-Reynoso, 110 F.3d 71 (9th Cir. 1997):
Flores contends that the district court erred when it applied a two-level enhancement to Flores' sentence under U.S.S.G. 2D1.1 for possessing a firearm in connection with his offense. The district court's finding was not clearly erroneous. Flores did possess the weapon during the offense. See United States v. Heldberg, 907 F.2d 91, 92 (9th Cir.1990). It is not "clearly improbable" that Flores' gun was unconnected to the offense.
