The judge misdirected himself by treating the applicant's intoxication as not a material consideration in evaluating intent; given the brief duration, the applicant's intoxication and out-of-character conduct, the inference that he intended to take possession of the firearm was not the only reasonable inference, and therefore the conviction could not stand and was quashed.
