Description
In this case the parties ask us to decide whether the words ""I have a gun"" constitute a ""threat of death"" for purposes of U.S.S.G. sec. 2B3.1(b)(2)(F) when made in the context of a bank robbery. On September 11, 1996, defendant entered a bank, placed a bag on the counter and declared, ""This is a robbery."" The teller asked, ""Are you for real?"" Defendant responded, ""This is a robbery. Put the money in the bag. I have a gun."" According to the teller, as the defendant announced that he had a gun, he also moved his hand toward his waist. The teller saw a bulge in the defendant's shirt near his waist and she thought the bulge was a gun. The defendant departed from the bank with a bag containing $2600. He was arrested shortly thereafter and pled guilty to bank robbery.
