Does Section 924(c) need to have a consecutive sentence?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Miller, 999 F.2d 545 (9th Cir. 1993):

We have previously upheld the constitutionality of section 924(c) when addressing a challenge based on double jeopardy grounds to its consecutive sentencing requirement. See United States v. Gonzales, 800 F.2d 895, 898 (9th Cir.1986) (rejecting double jeopardy challenge to section 924(c) where defendant received consecutive sentences for violations of section 2113(a) and (d) and section 924(c)). Furthermore, this court has also upheld consecutive sentencing for each count of conviction under section 924(c), even where all counts are charged in the same indictment. See United States v. Neal, 976 F.2d 601, 602 (9th Cir.1992).
