                          and No:  04-3248
   District of Minnesota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with M. Arnold and Benton, Circuit 
   Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. Investigative stop was reasonable in 
   duration and scope and did not turn into a de facto arrest; defendants 
   voluntarily consented to a search of their apartment; district court did not 
   err in admitting firearms evidence as it was relevant to prove participation 
   in a conspiracy; no error in permitting government's chemist to testify 
   that the methamphetamine seized at two different locations could have 
   originated from the same batch; evidence was sufficient to support 
   convictions for conspiracy, aiding and abetting, and maintaining a drug 
   house; counts were properly joined.
