What must an individual do if their gun is lost or stolen in Connecticut?

Report it to the police within 24 hours
Report it to the police within 72 hours
Notify the Department of Public Safety within a week
There is no requirement to report

The correct answer is: Report it to the police within 72 hours

In Connecticut, if an individual's gun is lost or stolen, they must report it to the police within 72 hours. This quick reporting requirement is crucial to help law enforcement track and recover the firearm, as well as prevent its misuse. It is essential for gun owners to promptly notify the authorities in such situations to ensure accountability and safety within the community. Option A is incorrect because the correct reporting time frame is within 72 hours, not 24 hours as stated in that choice. Option C is also incorrect as the requirement is to report to the police, not specifically to the Department of Public Safety. Option D is not the correct choice because Connecticut law mandates the reporting of lost or stolen firearms to the police within a specific timeframe.
