Question: 1 / 400

If a firearm is lost or stolen, what is the recommended action?

Keep it to yourself to avoid liability

Sell any remaining firearms

Report it immediately to local law enforcement

Reporting a lost or stolen firearm immediately to local law enforcement is the recommended action because it helps to ensure public safety and reduces the risk of the firearm being used in a crime. Law enforcement can take appropriate measures to recover the firearm and prevent misuse. Additionally, prompt reporting can help track firearms better and may protect the original owner from legal liability if the firearm is used in illegal activities after the theft.

Choosing to keep the information to oneself could lead to serious consequences if the firearm is found in criminal situations. Selling remaining firearms does not address the immediate concern of dealing with the lost or stolen firearm and may complicate matters further. Waiting a week to report could result in the firearm being used unlawfully during that time, which can have severe legal implications for the owner.
