District court’s sentencing of a felon convicted of possession of firearm to 84 months is vacated and remanded for resentencing where the the sentencing judge miscalculated the recommended range by starting with a base offense level of 20 under U.S.S.G. section 2K2.1(a)(4) based on defendant’s state conviction for reckless discharge of a firearm.
