Are FOID card holders required to report lost or stolen cards to the police?

  1. No, it's not necessary

  2. Yes, within 48 hours

  3. Yes, but within 72 hours

  4. Only if the card is not found within a week

The correct answer is: Yes, within 48 hours

FOID card holders are required to report lost or stolen cards to the police within 48 hours. This requirement is in place to ensure that lost or stolen cards are reported promptly to prevent unauthorized individuals from using the card for illegal activities. It is crucial for cardholders to adhere to this timeframe to comply with the regulations and to safeguard themselves and others from potential misuse of the lost or stolen card. Option A is incorrect because it is necessary for FOID card holders to report lost or stolen cards to the police. Option C is incorrect because the correct timeframe for reporting lost or stolen FOID cards is within 48 hours, not 72 hours. Option D is incorrect because the requirement to report lost or stolen FOID cards is within 48 hours, not within a week.
