1Opinion of the Court
MAGILL, Circuit Judge.
James Atlas appeals his conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm, a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), contending that the warrantless search of a duffel bag was unconstitutional because the searching police officers did not possess a reasonable suspicion that they were in imminent danger. Atlas also contends that the district court erred at sentencing in awarding only a two level reduction for acceptance of responsibility, rather than a three level reduction.1 We *449affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand for resentencing.
