What is the test for a motion to overturn a conviction of carrying a weapon under section 924(c)(1) of the Criminal Code?

What remains of the defendant's challenge to his 924(c)(1) conviction, then, is the question of whether the Government presented the jury with sufficient evidence to convict Salaam for "carrying" a weapon. In challenging the sufficiency of the evidence, the defendant must establish that "no rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime charged beyond a reasonable doubt." See, e.g., United States v. Taylor, 92 F.3d 1313, 1333 (2d Cir.1996) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). The defendant fails to meet this burden in the instant case.
