In oder to be in possession it has to be on you or in your sorroundings.
Possession generally means connected to the person, or under their immediate control. If I have a firearm in a backpack, I am not touching it, but it is under my control.
If you're found to be in possession of a stolen firearm, expect to be taken into custody. If their investigation determines that you were knowingly in possession of a stolen firearm, then you'll be charged.
Is it possible that you mean possession of a firearm? In general, possession means having control over an item. If you hold the item in your hand, or place it in your dresser drawer, you have actual possession of the item. If I have the keys to the lock on a gun safe, I have CONSTRUCTIVE possession of all guns in that safe- I may not be holding the guns, but I control them.
Things or actions that are "prohibited" mean that the person who has them in their possession is not allowed to have or own them. In the case of a firearm and/or explosive, federal law prohibits felons from possessing these items.

Then I would imagine that there would be several reasons to hold the person involved. Unless the firearm was obtained while the felon was in a state of diminished capacity I would expect the possession charge to progress normally. The person had to have possession of the firearm to attempt suicide with it.
