Not trying to be a smart aleck, but here is my laymans take.....Seriously, what a stretch!But not sole possession if the license holder is in close proximity.
There is some case law discussion which would likely apply beyond the simplest reading of the code.
My hands= legal possession , your unlicensed hands= violation(illegal possession). To me this is not a simple reading, but a literal reading. Seems straightforeward to me.
So does the case law you refer to involve someone holding the gun, or found in a vehicle with multiple occupancy.....ie.,the old closer to him than to me defense?
