[QUOTE="Aries, post: 3637399, member: 44328"] This was a while back, probably 25-30 years ago, but I was on jury duty in federal court and they said possession means "in the vicinity of" or something like that. I remember them saying that if a felon is in a car, or I think a house where a gun is present, they can be charged with possession, even if they did not know the gun was there. Probably stuck in my memory because it seemed kind of weird. Again, that's from memory and a long time ago... I might not be remembering correctly and/or laws may have changed. [/QUOTE]
