How many days before it needs to be reported though? That's what I'm asking. I travel a lot for work, I live in a rural area. A gun could be stolen (albeit not easily) from my house and used in a crime and I may not know about it for days.statefan91 said:
....no....it was stolen. But you damn well better report that it was stolen when you check to ensure you still have possession of your firearm.
Are you saying that a child finding an unsecured gun and shooting someone is the same as someone breaking in and forcibly stealing your gun and committing a crime with it?
And where did I make the comparison of a child finding an unsecured gun vs. someone stealing it? My guns are locked up, except for the one I'm currently carrying.
Also I should make it clear I was mostly responding to this statement you made:
Same with not knowing your gun is stolen. If you are signing up for the responsibility of owning a gun you should be able to keep track of its location. If you don't report it stolen and it's used in the commission of a crime you should be charged for your negligence.
It appears my hypocrisy knows no bounds.
