Is it mandatory to report lost or stolen firearms to the police in Rhode Island?

Yes, within 24 hours
Yes, within 48 hours
No, but it is recommended
No, there is no such requirement

The correct answer is: Yes, within 24 hours

Yes, within 24 hours is the correct answer. In Rhode Island, it is mandatory to report lost or stolen firearms to the police within 24 hours of discovering the loss or theft. This is to ensure that appropriate actions can be taken to prevent the firearm from being used illegally. Option B (within 48 hours) is incorrect as it does not meet the mandatory reporting timeframe. Option C (No, but it is recommended) is also incorrect as it implies that reporting is optional, when in fact it is mandatory. Option D (No, there is no such requirement) is incorrect as it completely disregards the mandatory reporting law in Rhode Island.
