PARKS, Judge,
specially concurring:
Under the facts and circumstances of this case, I agree that appellant was properly convicted of both Feloniously Carrying a Firearm and Use of a Firearm in the Commission of a Felony. I wish to note, however, that I would find it improper under the Double Jeopardy Clause to convict a defendant of both of these crimes in the absence of an independent underlying felony. Because such an underlying felony was in fact charged and proved in the present ease, that being Unlawful Delivery of a Controlled Dangerous Substance, I concur in the affirmance of the convictions.
