What are the reporting requirements if a firearm is lost or stolen in Connecticut?

  1. No need to report

  2. Must be reported within 72 hours

  3. Must be reported within 24 hours

  4. Must be reported within a week

The correct answer is: Must be reported within 24 hours

If a firearm is lost or stolen in Connecticut, it must be reported within 24 hours to the local law enforcement agency or the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection. Reporting within 72 hours, a week, or not at all (options B, D, and A) are incorrect because they do not adhere to the state's reporting requirements. Reporting within 24 hours allows for a prompt investigation and potential recovery of the firearm. Failure to report a lost or stolen firearm in a timely manner could result in penalties.
