OPINION
_________________________

LARSEN, Circuit Judge. Leonel Ruiz-Lopez brought his new pistol into a gas station in Memphis, Tennessee. While showing the gun to his acquaintances who worked there, he pointed the gun at one of them. When he lowered the gun to return it to his pocket, he hit the trigger and the gun discharged. The bullet ricocheted off the floor and struck an employee in the leg. Ruiz-Lopez pleaded guilty to being an undocumented alien in possession of a firearm. The district court sentenced him to twenty-one months’ imprisonment and ordered him to pay restitution to cover the employee’s medical bills. Ruiz-Lopez appeals his sentence and the order of restitution. We AFFIRM.
