Re: Any experience with Michigan gun laws? Why would anyone move to Michigan? Did you lose a bet or something?

Re: Any experience with Michigan gun laws? Pistols need to be registered....they call it a "safety inspection". Long guns do not need to be declared.

Re: Any experience with Michigan gun laws? No state registration for long guns. We have the standard federal background check for long gun purchases, of course. No ban on private transfers. It is my understanding that the law requiring "safety inspection" of handguns (basically a state registration of handguns) was repealed a few months ago. Does anybody have further info on this?

Re: Any experience with Michigan gun laws? Look into the pistol inspections....i hear they are just about ready to end that ....sometime in Jan 2009..... No long gun registration required. The UP is awesome....if you can find work.....

Re: Any experience with Michigan gun laws? Yep, no more pistol inspections. The CCW law is poorly written though and not worth bothering with. If we need to carry we just do.:biggrin:

Re: Any experience with Michigan gun laws? That's great news. Somehow registration seems unamerican to me.

Yes starting tomorrow you don't need to bring pistol to police for safety inspection,but you will have to send them some part of the paper work I think in 10 days or pay 250$ penalty,will say more Friday because will buy S&W 642:565:

State law says rifle or shotgun must be 31 inches overall, folding stock or not. It was a bitch making my Uzi legal length, took an Israeli wood stock and a few spacers along with the 16in barrel.

Re: Any experience with Michigan gun laws? The UP is a great place to be with the coming events and all. Google John Dee and buy a long track sled :ok:

Re: Any experience with Michigan gun laws? I live the Upper Peninsula. Just made a handgun purchase 2 weeks ago. No registration for rifles (background check only), only handguns. Registration=safety check. The process for handgun purchase is: find your handgun, go to County Sheriff's office and tell them you're purchasing a hangun - they'll do background check there and issue you a "green" slip. Get green slip Notorized (sometimes the Sheriff can provide this service, otherwise go to a bank). Bring the green slip to the gun shop and buy your gun. You have up to ten days to bring handgun (in it's case or box, obviously - don't go walking into the Sheriff's with a gun in your hand - suprisingly enough, they say it happens) WITH green slip back to Sheriff's office where they'll register you. Takes an hour or two, total, to purchase and register, depending how far your shop and Sheriff is. No restrictions on amount of purchases within a given time. on edit: Insofar as living in the UP, it is almost a different state than the Lower Peninsula. Much wilderness, sparsely populated. ALOT of snow in the winter. Lakes EVERYWHERE, including the biggest freshwater lake in the world, Lake Superior. Decent growing season in the summer, considering the long winters. Economy based on logging and tourism, mostly. Used to be major copper mining in late 1800's/early 1900's (copper EVERYWHERE - hence the UP is called The Copper Country), there are still a few running mines. There are two Universities - Michigan Tech in Houghton and Northern Michigan in Marquette. Jobs are sparse, but that's a good thing as it keeps all the people and development away from this very beautiful area.

Re: Any experience with Michigan gun laws? Thanks Phaedrus. During the interview process they told me there was 1.2 billion dollars invested in Marquette County in 2008. Mining mostly I think.
