"This receipt does not exempt the individual named in the receipt from complying with all applicable laws for the purchase of firearms.".
I interpret this as the receipt allows you to CARRY after 45 days, but it doesn't allow you to purchase private party using an RI-060. What are you going to put on the RI-060 in the box labeled "CPL Number"?
If I didn't have my initial CPL yet I would put the receipt number that the clerk gave to me on the RI-60. It is the State of Michigan who is breaking the law by dragging their feet, not the applicant. I doubt if most first timers would be that bold though.
I think that the best advice if you want the gun immediately and anticipate the Wayne county problem would be to get a New Hampshire
non-resident license even before you apply for the Michigan CPL. Then you wouldn't have to fill out the RI-60.
Seller MUST fill out RI-60 regardless.
Buyer having an out of state cpl means he doesn't have turn it in.
Most sellers are gonna want their portion of RI-60 for their records.
Just because something is legal to do doesn't mean it is the smart thing to do.
Once you have waited 45 days you have a legal right to that CPL. This is a typical mess caused by politicians.
Unless the law that allows you to CARRY with a receipt after 45 days specifically states that the same receipt also good to use in lieu of a CPL with an RI-060 for private party sales, you're treading in waters I wouldn't.
INAL, but I don't interpret "This receipt does not exempt the individual named in the receipt from complying with all applicable laws for the purchase of firearms" as "use your receipt in lieu of a CPL for the purpose of private party sales."
I'd advise you or anyone to do more research or contact an attorney before signing forms that clearly state "A person who forges any matter or makes a material false statement on this form is guilty of a felony, punishable by imprisonment for not more than 4 years or a fine of not more than $2,000.00, or both."

If the intent was to allow the purchase of a pistol with no background check (i.e., no RI-010 and no RI-060) but having applied for a CPL, there would have been no need to specify "This receipt does not exempt the individual named in the receipt from complying with all applicable laws for the purchase of firearms".
