    New to the forum and Michigan

    Hello, I'm Chuck, a 77 year resident of Illinois, I just bought a house on the Grand River to be near my son and his family and am in the process of moving. I retired in 1999 from Illinois Bell Telephone co., I've been a life long shooter and hunter. I'm a moderator on the Kimber Talk forum, a Life Patron member of the NRA, GOA and the Illinois State Rifle Association. I've had a CCL in Ill. since they were allowed and now have to figure out what I need to know to comply with Michigan laws. Are there any registration laws I immediately need to be aware of, I have handguns, rifles and shotguns?

    Welcome to Michigan and MGO.

    Long guns are not registered here.

    Handguns may need to be registered - eventually. Kind of depends on a bunch of facts - when you establish MI residency, whether you keep your IL CCL, whether you get a MI CPL (concealed pistol license), which you won't be able to apply for until you have been a MI resident for 6 months, etc.

    I'm sure others will chime in and overwhelm you with details on registering handguns. No rush IMO.

    Enjoy.
    All the best,

    Greetings from Imlay City "Gateway to the Thumb",

    Home of Vlasic Pickle.




    MCL 28-425b (7b)
    If the applicant holds a valid concealed pistol license issued by another state at the time the applicant's residency in this state is established, the county clerk shall waive the 6-month residency requirement and the applicant may apply for a concealed pistol license at the time the applicant's residency in this state is established. For the purposes of this section, an individual is considered a legal resident of this state if any of the following apply:
    I would suggest that you keep your CCL as long as it remains valid, take the Michigan class as soon as you can.

    It is actually the sale trans action that gets registered. There is direction to cover a returning military person in the law. There is nothing in law to direct a person moving into the State
