    No need to register in Michigan.

    This specific situation, and the original intent of our law MCL 28-432 was to exempt visitors, such as yourself from that portion of law. After all, there is no transfer of ownership in this situation.

    Sec. 12.

    (1) Section 2 does not apply to any of the following:

    <- snip->

    (f) A United States citizen holding a license to carry a pistol concealed upon his or her person issued by another state.
    "Section 2" is the law that requires registration.

    Researching this question before posting here I found conflicting information, great to have specific references to the law, many thanks. In Florida a hand gun has to be strictly concealed, no printing evident to, I recall "casual" inspection. I assume Michigan is similar?

    In Florida handgun sales between private parties are unregulated... For the record I acquired mine thru a Florida FFL.

    “No printing evident” is a interpretation not the law in Florida...
    MI is a open carry state you can OC CC cover half the gun whatever, printing it s not a issue

    We are working on the notion that your Florida permit is a resident permit. If it is non-resident, that doesn't change the registration issue, but it is invalid for CC in MI.
