Nevada Concealed Firearm Permit (CFP) Practice Exam

What should a permit holder do if their Nevada Concealed Firearm Permit is lost or stolen?

1. Nothing

2. Report to the police within 24 hours

3. Apply for a new permit

4. Notify the issuing authority within 30 days

The correct answer is: Notify the issuing authority within 30 days

Notifying the issuing authority within 30 days is the correct action for a permit holder to take if their Nevada Concealed Firearm Permit is lost or stolen. This step is essential because it allows the issuing authority to update their records and helps protect against potential misuse of the permit. Prompt notification can assist in preventing fraudulent use of the issued permit and ensures that the permit holder remains compliant with state laws regarding concealed carry. While reporting to the police is a prudent action for any lost or stolen property, this option primarily focuses on the legal implications of the theft rather than the requirement for permit holders to inform the authority. Applying for a new permit may also become necessary, but it is not the first action that should be taken upon realizing a permit is missing. Taking no action fails to address the significant responsibility that comes with holding a concealed firearm permit.
