Re: weapons possession
Yes: possession is possession as far as charges go. You now are in the position of having to defend yourself and prove that you did not "possess" the weapons.
If the court order was broader, you might be completely out of luck, but at least you can argue that you did not have them just because they were in your car port,--particularly if the carport is shared.
But, if the court reads possession as meaning "control" or "within an area you jointly control," then you're probably SOL.
