123339P.pdf   02/05/2014  United States  v.  Richard Sneed
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-3339
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Springfield   
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Colloton and Benton, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Sentencing Guidelines. In a prosecution charging defendant with being a felon and unlawful drug user in possession of a firearm, the district court did not err in imposing a four-level enhancement under Guidelines Sec. 2K2.1(b)(6)(B) for possession of a firearm in connection with another felony, as the district court clearly understood and properly applied the "facilitate" standard of note 14(a); the Guideline does not require that the weapon be loaded as an unloaded firearm retains the potential to facilitate a drug crime.
