The court upheld a four-level enhancement for possessing a firearm "in connection with another felony offense," USSG 2K2.1(b)(6)(B); a two-level enhancement for obstruction of justice; and calculation of the criminal history level. The court articulated a plausible sentencing rationale and imposed a sentence within the range of reasonable outcomes.
