“carry” have been adopted recently by a number of other circuit courts. See, e.g. United States v. Ramirez-Ferrer, 82 F.3d 1149 , 1152 (1st Cir.1996) ("Our decision in [United States v. Manning, 79 F.3d 212 (1st Cir.1996), cert. denied, - U.S. -, 117 S.Ct. 147 , 136 L.Ed.2d 93 (1996)] limits the construction of 'carry' to situations in which the 'firearm' has been ‘moved’ or ‘brought along to another place,' since all three parts of the definition adopted there contains this element of transportation.”
