OPINION
LANSING, Judge.
Appellant Steven Allen was found guilty of being a felon in possession of a pistol, see Minn.Stat. § 624.713, subds. 1(b) and 2, and possession of a short-barreled shotgun, see Minn. Stat. § 609.67, subd. 2 (1984). Allen contends that he was denied a fair trial because the trial court refused to let him stipulate to his prior felony convictions and because the prosecution elicited testimony implicating him in other crimes. Allen also contends that there was insufficient evidence to establish his possession of the weapon. We reverse.
