What must be done if a firearm is lost or stolen in New Mexico?

Report to the local police immediately
Register the loss with the NRA
No action is required by law
Notify the state police within 72 hours

The correct answer is: Report to the local police immediately

In New Mexico, it is required by law to report a lost or stolen firearm to the local police immediately. This is to ensure that proper measures can be taken to locate the firearm and prevent its illegal use. Registering the loss with the NRA, while a responsible action, is not a legal requirement. Choosing no action (C) is false because reporting is explicitly required by the law in New Mexico. Finally, notifying state police within 72 hours (D) may be a requirement in some states, but for New Mexico, immediate reporting to the local police is necessary.
