| My brother-in-law asked me a question regarding purchasing a pistol with a CPL and I honestly don't know the answer. If you purchase a pistol from an FFL with a CPL, are you still required to take any paperwork such as your receipt to the LEO's where you reside. I know that you don't need a purchase permit with a CPL, but is that it or is there still some type of requirement to notify local LEO after the purchase? Couldn't find any info on the state government FAQ's or Michigan Gun Owners forum. |

Quoted:
so if the seller is a FFL and the form was filled out, does the FFL then do the normal registration? or does the buyer still have a requirement to take their copy of this document to local PD? Yes, the only parts the CPL changes is the buyer is no longer required to go to the PD for a permit to purchase before they purchase a pistol, and if their CPL was issued after 2005, they not longer are required to call NICS (though some stores still do as company policy). You can mail the MSP and Local Agency(PD) copies to their respective locations, however you can also take both to your Local Agency and they will send the MSP copy to the State. Also, the pistol form for CPLs is RI-009 and can be found here. |

FROM FAQ'S CLICK HERE 5. In Michigan, what is a License to Purchase and is one needed in every case where a pistol is acquired? MCL 28.422 A License to Purchase is a license required prior to acquisition of a pistol by purchase or gift. The important part of the License to Purchase is the affidavit signed by the purchaser swearing to their own qualifications. A License to Purchase is not needed for anyone with a valid Michigan Concealed Pistol License, for firearms dealers purchasing from wholesalers, or for relics, curios, antiques, etc., not made for modern ammunition. Someone with a valid Michigan Concealed Pistol License must, however, complete a Pistol Sales Record when purchasing or acquiring a pistol. and there is a provision in the Brady Law for MI: Persons holding firearm permits which qualify as alternatives, per the ATF, under the permanent provision of the Brady Act are not required to undergo a NICS check. Michigan Licenses to Purchase a Pistol qualify. Concealed Pistol Licenses (CPLs) issued on or after November 22, 2005, qualify as an alternative to a National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) check. CPLs issued prior to November 22, 2005 and Temporary Concealed Pistol Licenses do not qualify as NICS alternative. |
