Before McMILLIAN, BOWMAN, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit
      Judges.
                         ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Will H. Hawkins appeals from the final judgment entered in the District Court1
for the Western District of Missouri following his guilty plea to being a felon in
possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g) and 924(a)(2). The district
court sentenced appellant to 30 months imprisonment and 3 years supervised release.
For reversal appellant argues the district court erred in calculating his base offense level

       1
        The Honorable Scott O. Wright, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Missouri.
under U.S.S.G. § 2K2.1(a)(4)(A) (applicable to, inter alia, a defendant with a prior
felony conviction for “a crime of violence”), because his undisputed prior conviction
for second-degree burglary of a commercial building, i.e., a gun store, did not constitute
“a crime of violence” as contemplated by the Guidelines.

       As appellant concedes, in United States v. Hascall, 

, 906 (8th Cir.),
cert. denied, 

(1996), a panel of this court determined that second-degree
burglaries of commercial buildings are indeed crimes of violence. We are not at liberty
to overrule another panel’s decision. See United States v. Reynolds, 

, 329
(8th Cir. 1997) (refusing to consider argument that Hascall was wrongly decided).

      Accordingly, we affirm.

      A true copy.

             Attest:

                     CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
