“Federal authorities say Texas has far and away the largest number of firearms in the U.S. reported as lost or stolen.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives issued a report this week showing there were 18,874 firearms lost or stolen in Texas in 2012. The figure represents 10 percent of the total national number.”
That is hilarious! All you Texans losing your guns. I suppose that’s because you keep going fishing with guns to shoot the fish and the boat tips, and.... I’m in Texas, too, and haven’t reported mine lost - yet.

I’m a Natural Born Texan and have lived here for over 70 years, less my time in the Navy.
Why would Texans report lost guns to anyone? Stolen guns would be the result of burglaries, so I understand that being done for insurance claim purposes.
We don’t have gun registration in Texas, unless it may be for obtaining a CHL.
