This may have been covered here, but I have never paid much attention to this area of the law, because I never needed to. And I know I'll get good answers.
Friend of mine is awaiting trial for a felony charge, which they plan to plea down to a misdemeanor. No drugs, no violence, no domestic issues.
Question is, may he possess a firearm while awaiting trial? He knows he cannot purchase, it's the first test on the list at the State Police website. Unclear on possession of owned firearms. Would like to see cites of course, if there are any.
Thanks for any help.

P.S. Of course I suggested he ask his attorney, but apparently the guy is not too gun-savvy... didn't really give him an answer.
