How to Register a Gun

The regulation regarding the purchase and carrying of a firearm in Michigan is somewhat less lenient than many of the surrounding mid-west states. Although a long gun can be obtained with no purchase permit or required background check when carried out as a private sale, handguns call for a higher standard of restriction. When procuring a handgun, it must either be bought from a federally licensed dealer, or the buyer first gains access to a purchase permit (if you do not currently hold a Michigan Concealed Pistol License). To do so, you can effectively apply by attending your local sheriff’s office with a valid resident photo identification (or driver’s license) and completing the required paperwork and safety exam.

There is no specified mandate to obtain an owner’s license for a weapon. Still, some districts will obligate firearm registration, so contact your local law enforcement agency to inquire. When acquiring a handgun from a federally licensed dealer with a permit to purchase or a concealed pistol license, the governing authorities will have a record of the sale, essentially registering the gun. Open carry of a firearm is allowed in sanctioned areas, such as approved hunting grounds, target ranges, and on an owner’s private property. To carry a gun in a vehicle will demand the requirement of a concealed pistol license.

How to Obtain a Concealed Pistol License

Lawful concealed carry of a firearm will obligate all Michigan residents to furnish an active Concealed Pistol License per Michigan Compiled Laws §28.425b. The license will further allow for the transport of a gun within the confines of participating reciprocity states. To qualify for a Concealed Pistol License, you must be a Michigan resident for at least six months, be 21 years of age or older, complete a firearms training course, and be able to pass a background check.

To apply for the license in person, gather the following listed materials to deliver to your county clerk’s office:

  • A completed Michigan Concealed Pistol License Application (Form R1-012) to be signed and notarized on-site.
  • A certificate showing fulfillment of a hunter safety program approved by the state of Michigan.
  • A passport-style color photo of the applicant.
  • A fingerprint identification card (available for a separate fee on-location at the clerk’s office).
  • A valid Michigan State driver’s license or identification card with an up-to-date home address for the applicant.
  • Payment for license fees in the amount of $115.

The documentation will be sent out and processed, and you will be informed of your license status within a 45-day time-frame. Notification of licensure status will be relayed via mail to the home address provided on the application.
