Stolen or theft forms

[conradin]

Just something simple that I do not think I need to hire a lawyer yet.

What is the maximum time you can file a stolen report to the Police? One reads something that says 45 days. But what if it were a year ago, when one actually unable to file because of have a very very long stay in the hospital, and then after that, disability to the point that one cannot get out of home unless a social worker drives.

One never did realize that wanted to file, because after coming out of hospital, the only thing one would think about is to working on health. One even drop out of school.

WITHIN 48 HOURS
(g) “IF A FIREARM YOU OWN OR POSSESS IS LOST OR STOLEN, YOU MUST REPORT THE LOSS OR THEFT TO A LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY WHERE THE LOSS OR THEFT OCCURRED WITHIN 48 HOURS OF THE TIME YOU KNEW OR REASONABLY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT THE FIREARM HAD BEEN LOST OR STOLEN.”

You can file a theft report at anytime; yes there are statues about reporting firearms; but law enforcement is going still take the report. I won't over think stuff just get it reported.

That is old law, no longer current.

Just report it. Let LE know the circumstances. It'll all work out.

[socom2shooter]

Just call your local agency and file the report, it will work out.

Glad you edited your original post to change pronouns from he/she to "one" since you were more likely to get into trouble for that transgression....
