What the statute of limitations on possession of a firearm by convicted felon in Virginia?
Short answer: 15 years.
In practical application: One can acquire title to another's real property by (i) exclusively possessing the land, (ii) openly and notoriously, (iii) adverse/hostile to the owner (that is, without permission), and doing so (iv) continuously for the 15 year statutory period.
The 15 year period is derived from the statute of limitations on the landowner's right to bring suit to eject a trespasser. Thus, to call it a statute of limitations on adverse possession is a bit of a misnomer; rather, it is the amount of time required to obtain title via adverse possession as a consequence of the original owner's failure to bring suit.
In Virginia, this limitations period is codified at Va. Code § 8.01-236:
"No person shall make an entry on, or bring an action to recover, any land unless within fifteen years next after the time at which the right to make such entry or bring such action shall have first accrued to such person or to some other person through whom he claims; provided that an action for unlawful entry or detainer under § 8.01-124 shall be brought within three years after such entry or detainer."

Seven years from the time of discovery... this means seven years from the time it has been noted as a bad check... you can wait a year, then turn it over to police and get a warrant, and that warrant will never expire! If the check was over $300 it is a felony warrant and is entered into the NCIC database.. any police officer can run your name and it will spring to life. most warrants must be validated 10 years after being issued . most people have some kind of interface with a cop or agency every 18 months, so you have a 95% chance of being arrested on an outstanding felony bench warrent and sitting in jail a few weeks until you make bond, or can pay it off and the costs.
