It means what they want it to mean.

In discussing convicted felons, possession means even picking up a firearm, loaded or unloaded. If it's in their hands, it's "possession." And if they happen to live in a place where another resident (family member, roommate, etc.) legally has firearms, unless said firearms are ALWAYS locked up so the ex-felon can't access them, he is deemed to be in "constructive possession" of firearms.

I have read that, as the term applies in NY state, it means the same for you and me as it does for a felon. In other words, if I as a non-resident of NY were to visit NY state, I am not allowed to handle or shoot a firearm (unless I am there for a sanctioned competition, pursuant to NY state law). I'm not 100 percent sure that's what the law says, but that's what I have read.
