Syllabus

Having a weapon while under disability; improperly handling a firearm in a motor vehicle; sufficiency of the evidence; manifest weight of the evidence. Judgment affirmed. When viewing the evidence in a light most favorable to the State, any rational trier of fact could have found that appellant knew of the gun and had constructive possession of the gun, which was found in her glove compartment. Therefore, there is sufficient evidence to support her convictions for having a weapon while under disability and improperly handling a firearm in a motor vehicle. Furthermore, appellant's convictions are not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Appellant's own testimony confirmed that she knew the gun was in the glove compartment.
