Holding
Lafate Kingsbur, III, appeals the judgment of the Court of Appeals affirming his conviction for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon in violation of Code § 18.2-308.2. Kingsbur contends that the Commonwealth failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the handgun he possessed qualified as a firearm under the statute. Because we conclude that the trial court’s factual determination that the handgun was a firearm was not plainly wrong or without evidence to support it, we will affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeals.
