Oh,
pul-eeeze! Come off it! "Possession" means just what it says. If you are a felon and you are caught with a firearm in your possession, you are in violation. Very, very simple. It has nothing to do with whose name is on the paperwork (if any), nothing whatsoever to do with legal "ownership."
The terms are so simple. Notice that they don't specify that the gun must be loaded, that the gun must be in your possession for longer than a moment, that the gun must even be operable. Nope. You can't have it in your possession at all, not under any circumstances. So will you pleeeze give me a break!
