24 hours
48 hours

10 days

The correct answer is: 48 hours

In Massachusetts, firearm owners are required to report a lost or stolen firearm within 48 hours. This timeframe ensures that law enforcement agencies can quickly respond to the theft and potentially recover the firearm before it can be misused. Timely reporting also helps in maintaining an accurate inventory of firearms ownership and contributes to public safety. It reflects the state's approach to responsible gun ownership and the importance of accountability among firearm owners.
