   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Joplin   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Colloton and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. The evidence was sufficient to support 
   defendant's conviction for possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug 
   trafficking crime; on the facts presented, the jury permissibly found the 
   required nexus between the firearm and the drugs without the guidance of 
   expert testimony and rejected the claim defendant possessed the weapon to 
   protect his chickens.
