See United States v. Carillo-Ayala, 713 F.3d 82, 91-92, 94-95 (11th Cir.2013) (“While other facts, such as whether the firearm is loaded, or inside a locked container, might be relevant to negate a connection, there is a strong presumption that a defendant aware of the weapon’s presence will think of using it if his illegal activities are threatened.
