In Louisiana, is it mandatory to report a lost or stolen firearm to the police?

In Louisiana, it is not mandatory to report a lost or stolen firearm to the police. While it is generally a good practice to report the loss or theft of a firearm to law enforcement, there is no specific legal requirement in Louisiana that mandates individuals to do so. Option A is incorrect because reporting a lost or stolen firearm is not mandatory. Option C is also incorrect as the requirement does not apply only to handguns. Option D is incorrect as the obligation to report a lost or stolen firearm is not contingent upon it being used in a crime.
