(Background - you can skip this)
Back in the 1990's I went to a gun show in Reno. Since I was carrying a lot of cash, I decided to also carry a gun (Colt Mustang 380). Everything went great, but several month after I got back I could not find my Colt Mustang. I couldn't remember what I did with it. I could have sworn I put it in the safe.
I remember hiding it under the mattress at in my Hotel room, so I called the Hotel to see if a maid found my gun. I gave them the make, model, and serial number but they didn't have it. Surprisingly, they had a lot of found guns that weekend, so I don't feel so stupid. I also remember stopping in Truckee at the rest-stop to play in the snow. I though my gun might have fallen out of my car when I opened the door. I called the Truckee police (or Sheriff), but they didn't have it.
About two years later I found the gun in my safe - right where I put it when I got back from Reno.
If you lose or misplace a gun what are you suppose to do? File a police report immediately?
I noticed there is a form to fill out on the DOJ website for guns no longer in your possession (lost/stolen/sold). http://oag.ca.gov/sites/all/files/agweb/pdfs/firearms/forms/BOF4546NLIP0209.pdf
So if I report my gun lost and fill out the form, what happens when I later find my gun? Do I have to re-DROS it back to myself, or do I fill out a Firearms Ownership Report (volreg) form? http://oag.ca.gov/sites/all/files/agweb/pdfs/firearms/forms/volreg.pdf?
Now in reference to SSE guns. If I lose my SSE pistol that was registered as a .25 caliber, do I report it lost as a .25 caliber or what it was when I lost it (9mm, 40S&W, 45ACP, etc)? If I fill out the F.O.R. (volreg) form, do I list the found gun as a .25 caliber gun, or what it is at the time I found it?
