Yes--but he would likely be acquitted. Although a charge of "possession" of a firearm implies that the defendant actually possess a firearm, HOWEVER, he need not actually have it on him (the firearm could be in the defendant felon's house or car, and he could still be charged). For specific information on your state's laws, you should see a criminal law attorney in your area.
