Re: possession of firearm

Under the law possession means "to Possess" or otherwise exercise dominion or control over personal property.

In short possess means what you think it does further if you exercise dominion or control means it might not be in your hand but it could be say on a table in your home. You don't have to own it.

Hope that helps.
