What action should a CPL holder take if their license is lost or stolen?

  1. Report the loss/theft to the local police and apply for a replacement

  2. Nothing, as it will automatically be replaced

  3. Wait for it to expire and then apply for a new one

  4. Notify the Department of Licensing via email only

The correct answer is: Report the loss/theft to the local police and apply for a replacement

The correct response emphasizes the importance of promptly reporting the loss or theft of a concealed pistol license to the local police, which helps to document the incident and may prevent potential misuse of the license. In addition to reporting, applying for a replacement is essential to ensure that the individual remains compliant with the law and can continue to exercise their rights responsibly and legally. This proactive approach not only safeguards the CPL holder's rights but also facilitates a smoother process in obtaining a new license, as there is a clear record of the loss or theft. The requirement to report to law enforcement underscores the importance of accountability and public safety in the handling of firearms.
