  3. Within 10 days

  4. Within 30 days

The correct answer is: Within 5 days

This quick reporting timeframe is crucial for public safety and helps law enforcement in their efforts to locate and recover the missing firearm. Reporting the loss or theft promptly can also help prevent potential misuse of the firearm by individuals who are not authorized to possess it. Therefore, the correct answer is reporting the stolen or lost firearm within 5 days.
