051557P.pdf   11/17/2005  United States  v.  Michael John Walker
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-1557
   District of Minnesota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Bright and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - criminal law. District court did not err in admitting
   certified copy of defendant's prior conviction for making threats against
   the victim of this offense; Molotov cocktails are quasi suspect in nature
   and the district court did not err in instructing the jury on knowing
   possession rather than specific intent; defendant was not entitled to an
   instruction based on impossibility of registering a Molotov cocktail, as
   the law of this circuit is that even if a device cannot be registered, an
   individual can still comply with the law by not taking possession of it.
