On a hot summer day, an off-duty detective is having lunch in an Italian bistro in Las
Vegas. He looks out the window of the restaurant and sees a man in long sleeved clothing
walking back and forth in front of a bank across the street. The man appears to be
constantly peering inside the bank’s window and is checking his watch regularly. The
officer decides to investigate. He walks across the street and confronts the man, asking him
to explain what he is doing and to show ID. Unsatisfied with the man’s evasive answers,
the officer asks the suspect to raise his arms to the side and pats the man down. After
feeling what he thinks is a gun, the officer reaches in the man’s coat pocket. There, the
officer finds a 9mm handgun and a small bag of cocaine.
a. The gun only
