Protected firearms which are recovered and destroyed immediately, are required to be reported. The 72-hour rule applies when the firearm will be returned to the owner within that timeframe. If a firearm is taken into custody and destroyed or transferred, it must be reported regardless of how long it is in the agency's possession. All firearms that have been found, seized or are being held for other reasons by a public service agency must be reported to the Registrar of Firearms using the RCMP Public Agency Web Services (PWS).
