I did not possess a weapon of any kind. Yet they still charged me with possession of a firearm how is that possible?

If there is an allegation supported by probable cause, then the charge can be filed. There are a variety of circumstances where this can occur, such as a codefendant having actual possession of the gun, and you being charged with the gun under a legal theory of joint-constructive possession. Either repost with more details, or consult directly with a DE criminal defense lawyer. Good luck.

I don't practice in DE. What you are charged with is often unrelated to what they proceed to trial with. If there is no evidence, it will not make it past prelim.
