Is there insufficient evidence to support a conviction under 18 U.S.C. section 924(c) of the Criminal Code for possession of a firearm?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Baltazar, 122 F.3d 1074 (9th Cir. 1997):

Baltazar contends that the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction under 18 U.S.C. 924(c) because he did not use or carry a firearm during and in relation to a drug trafficking crime, in light of Bailey v. United States, 116 S.Ct. 501, 505 (1995). We disagree.
