02, [4]). The evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the People (see, People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620, 621), is legally sufficient to disprove defendant's defense of temporary and lawful possession of a weapon (see, People v. Rodriguez, 237 A.D.2d 143, lv denied 89 N.Y.2d 1099). The record supports the jury's determination that defendant did not have a legal excuse for having the weapon in his possession (see, People v. Banks, 76 N.Y.2d 799, 801; People v. Williams, 50 N.Y.2d 1043, 1045).
