Can someone be charged for not reporting a lost or stolen firearm in Maryland?

Yes
No
Only if the firearm is used in a crime
Only if it is an assault weapon

The correct answer is: Yes

In Maryland, it is required by law to notify local law enforcement within 72 hours of discovering that a firearm has been lost or stolen. Failure to report can result in a misdemeanor charge with a potential penalty of up to 1 year in prison and/or a fine of up to $1,000. Option B is incorrect because not reporting a lost or stolen firearm is a crime in Maryland. Option C is incorrect because while using a lost or stolen firearm in a crime may result in additional charges, it is not the only circumstance in which someone can be charged for not reporting it. Option D is incorrect because the type of firearm does not affect the requirement to report it.
