Connecticut Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Does Connecticut law require firearms owners to report lost or stolen firearms?

1. Yes, within 24 hours

2. No

3. Yes, within 72 hours

4. Yes, but only for handguns

The correct answer is: Yes, within 72 hours

Connecticut law requires firearms owners to report lost or stolen firearms within 72 hours. This reporting requirement helps law enforcement track potentially dangerous firearms that may have fallen into the wrong hands. It is important for gun owners to promptly report lost or stolen firearms to aid in the prevention of potential crimes involving these weapons. Option A is incorrect because the reporting requirement is within 72 hours, not 24 hours. Option B is incorrect because Connecticut law does have a reporting requirement for lost or stolen firearms. Option D is also incorrect because the requirement is not limited to handguns; it applies to all firearms.
