What must be done if a firearm is lost or stolen in Washington, D.C.?

Reported to the insurance company
Reported to the local police station
Nothing, as it is considered a private matter
Both A and B

The correct answer is: Reported to the local police station

If a firearm is lost or stolen in Washington, D.C., it is important to report it to the local police station. This is crucial not only to comply with the law but also to prevent potential misuse of the firearm. Reporting the loss or theft helps law enforcement track the firearm and potentially recover it, as well as prevent it from being used in criminal activities. Reporting to the insurance company, as mentioned in option A, may be beneficial for insurance purposes but the primary and immediate action should be to report it to the police. Option C stating that it is a private matter is incorrect as reporting such incidents to the authorities is a public safety concern. Therefore, the correct answer is to report the lost or stolen firearm to the local police station.
