Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that police officers had probable cause to search a residence for a gun when the resident was seen leaving the house with a gun
• holding that probable cause existed-to search a house for a gun defendant had been seen with 10 days earlier
• concluding, where defendant was seen leaving his residence with a firearm, that there was a reasonable probability he kept the firearm at his residence, and stating “[t]he magistrate was not required to rule out every other possible alternative”
• officers did have probable cause to search residence for gun when resident seen leaving home with gun
• warrant authorizing search for revolver in appellant’s residence was valid because the affidavit provided “at least a reasonable probability” that revolver was kept in his house even though the possibility existed that appellant kept his revolver elsewhere.
• if property likely to remain in the same place for a lengthy time, probable cause may be found despite delay between events relied on and issuance of warrant
