Yes, but only for handguns
The correct answer is: No
In Indiana, firearm owners are not mandated by law to report lost or stolen firearms to authorities. This means that there is no legal requirement for owners to inform law enforcement or any governmental body about the loss or theft of their firearms. However, while there isn't a legal obligation, it is generally recommended for firearm owners to report stolen firearms as it may help in recovering the property and preventing its use in criminal activities. This understanding highlights the lack of enforcement regarding the reporting of lost or stolen firearms in the state, as opposed to requirements in certain other jurisdictions that impose strict timelines for reporting such incidents.
