COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA v. TARVUS GAINER No. 1610 WDA 2009 2010 PA Super 189 Atlantic: n/a Filed: 10/13/2010
	Appeal from the Judgment of Sentence July 22, 2009 In the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County Criminal Division at No(s): CP-0008058-08, CP-02-CR-0016563-2008
Before: STEVENS, DONOHUE, and OTT, JJ.
Opinion by: STEVENS, J.
This is an appeal from the judgment of sentence entered in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County following Appellant’s conviction on the charges of carrying a firearm without a license, 18 Pa.C.S.A. § 6106, and possession of a firearm with an altered manufacturer’s number, 18 Pa.C.S.A. § 6110.2. Appellant’s sole contention is that the evidence was insufficient to sustain his conviction for carrying a firearm without a license under Section 6106 since the Commonwealth failed to prove the firearm was “operable.”
