Gun Laws Weapons, Guns, Firearms

Does anyone know if there is a statute of limitations on someone who gives their handguns away (like for a payment of a debt) and does not go through a gun dealer. In California, you must go through a gun dealer to satisfy the mandatory waiting period. In addition to this infraction, this person filed a false police report saying the gun was stolen. This was to cover his bases if the gun was used in a crime. To make matters worse (and you may not believe this) he gave the gun to someone who served time for bank robbery. Ugh.

I know this is an infraction, but is there a statute of limitations on it if it was more than 7 years ago?
