United States Eighth Circuit

Defendant's firearm possession sentence is affirmed where: 1) the district court applied the proper standard, explicitly finding that defendant's possession of the firearm in the car either facilitated or had the potential to facilitate his possession of the PCP at issue; and 2) the government proved the vial recovered by the police actually contained PCP, and therefore the district court properly enhanced defendant's sentence.
