Also the did not say if they are trying it under state law, or if they have turned it over to the Feds.

But just having guns in he home, does not matter who they belong to, will convict them, Does not matter if there are bullets in the gun and does not matter if the gun is is workable condition at the moment, as long as it can be workable.

I saw one of the best criminal attorneys fight that one in MO but in Federal Court.. They tried hard to get a drug dealer but never could, so they got him on a gun possession case, turned over to the Feds and he is doing 10 years as we speak ( may parole out at 7 years) This as noted before was for a shotgun that was rusted shut ( but could have been cleaned and used with a lot of work) and there were no shells in the home.

But in TN, this person is gone, he needs the best lawyer he can get, and hope for a plea deal.
