What is the notification period for the holder of a deferred license after recovery of the firearm?

The notification period for the holder of a deferred license after recovering their firearm is 30 days. This timeframe is established to ensure that the authorities are promptly informed about the return of the firearm, allowing for monitoring and compliance with local regulations. A longer notification period, such as 60 days, may not align with the need for timely updates on firearm ownership and can hinder the effectiveness of regulatory oversight. Similarly, shorter periods such as 14 or 7 days may not provide adequate time for thorough communication and verification processes. Thus, 30 days strikes a balance, allowing both the license holder and law enforcement sufficient time to manage the transition responsibly.
