I've bought a few guns in the last year or so; always took the 'State Copy' of the purchase form to my local cop shop; and they sent them on to Lansing.
On my last purchase I decided just to mail my copy to the State Police - basically bypassing the few mile drive to the local police station.
- Did I make a mistake? I really don't know if I'm required to notify the local police of my purchase; the form says 'State Police' copy; and of course I know the local police can check records in Lansing any time they want. Thanks.
