I don't know what you mean by statute of limitations for having a firearm in a public forum. Do you mean how long does the prosecutor have to prosecute you for the above violation? It depends -- you have a right to a speedy trial. That is a constitutional right. In terms of anything else -- time to actually bring you forward to make a plea, there is usually a reasonableness standard -- sometimes such items have to be delayed.
