California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Beverly, C083612 (Cal. App. 2017):
3. Defendant does not challenge the concurrent sentence for the second count of possession of a firearm and rightly so. "[S]ection 654 does not bar multiple punishment for multiple violations of the same criminal statute." (People v. Correa (2012) 54 Cal.4th 331, 334; id. at pp. 342, 344.)
