  • Most of these thefts involved pistols, and 62% of the incidents took place in the southern states.
  • These figures represent only those firearms reported stolen and do not include firearms that were lost.
  • Most significantly, most states and cities have no legal requirement to report a firearm that is lost or stolen from an individual owner, which suggests the actual number of thefts and losses is possibly much higher.
