What action is required if your handgun carry permit is lost or stolen?

Report to the police within 24 hours
Notify the Department of Safety immediately
Apply for a new permit within 30 days
No action is required

The correct answer is: Notify the Department of Safety immediately

When your handgun carry permit is lost or stolen, notifying the Department of Safety immediately is essential because it ensures the relevant authorities are aware that your permit is no longer in your possession. This helps to prevent unauthorized use of your permit and assists in maintaining accurate records regarding permit holders. Standard procedures often require prompt notification to prevent potential misuse of reported lost or stolen permits and timely actions regarding replacements. Keeping the Department informed allows them to take the necessary steps to safeguard your information and possibly assist in the process of obtaining a new permit.
