Gun License Open Book Practice Test

The key point is that there is a legal duty to report the location of a firearm when you know of its existence and it is not in anyone’s lawful possession. This duty applies regardless of whether the firearm is loaded and regardless of the person’s age. Failing to report to a police official without delay creates an offence because the law aims to ensure firearms that aren’t properly owned or controlled are quickly accounted for to protect public safety. So in this scenario, not reporting the firearm’s location is an offence.
