This week on BronxNet's "Open" I continued my discussion on controversial laws currently enforced in NY. NY's Gun Possession law, which will be broken down on next week's "BronxLegal", was the topic. The presumptions created by the legislature with regard to who a gun belongs to is what makes the law so controversial. Many people believe the mandatory sentence of one year is the reason the law is so controversial. I disagree. The law automatically deems you in possession of a gun if you are found in the same car as the weapon. Even if you had never met the occupants in the car, and never had knowledge of the background of your fellow passengers. The presumption that all are "deemed" in possession of the gun is the real controversy. David Lesch
