It depends. There is something called "constructive possession" that most people don't understand the concept of. Constructive possession basically means that you have access to and intent to control the firearm. So as I said, it depends. You could be charged with possession.
Added: YES, you would be considered to be 'in possession' of it, if you had access to it.
