Drugs and Guns

The course will utilize the show “Ozark” to highlight the interplay between §2D1.1 and §2K2.1 as well as the issues related to sentencing in multi-defendant cases.

The course will answer frequently asked questions about the weapon enhancement at §2D1.1, distinctions between the applicable enhancement when the gun is used in connection with another offense at §2K2.1 and the cross reference at §2K2.1, and the impact of a § 924(c) conviction, among other topics. This course will also address determination of the offense level in cases involving synthetic cannabinoids, synthetic cathinones, and other synthetic drug cases.

The following slideshows were presented at recent National Seminars on the topic of drugs and guns.
