Firearm possession cases usually turn on two questions: whether you were legally permitted to have the weapon, and whether the law treats you as having possessed it at all. Possession can be argued even when the firearm was not physically on you, which is why where and how it was found matters so much.
Prior convictions, protective orders and immigration status can each change what a possession charge means. If you are facing one in Oakland, a Oakland gun lawyer can explain how those factors apply to your situation.
