Mando21:
Hi everyone!  I just found this site recently and have been reading... I never even knew it was legal to open carry in Michigan!  Much less without a permit.  Of course, I am only eighteen.  I think that this is awesome... and I'm quite pleased to learn that an 18 year old can own a handgun (even if I cannot buy one) which brings me to some questions.

Can an 18 year old get a CCW?

If I cannot buy a handgun, how could I get one without getting into the whole "straw man purchase" thing?

How would I go about getting a CCW exactly?

Can the police refuse to license me?

Where can I not carry even if I had a CCW while open carrying?

Answers would be very much appreciated!

Thanks.

in the state of michigan you have to be 21 years old before you can obtain your CPL

there is no way to purchase a handgun unless you have someone transfer it to you, you must be 21 to purchase from a dealer.

first step to obtaining a CPL is to attend an 8 hour class, then you have to fill out the appropriate application and follow the process.

they can refuse, but typically wont unless you have some sort of issue in your background check

PLACES off limits to firearms without a CPL: Sec. 234d (1) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (2), a person shall not possess a firearm on the premises of any of the following: a) A Bank. b) A church. c) A court. d) A theatre. e) A sports arena. f) A day care center. g) A hospital. h) An establishment licensed under the Michigan liquor control act (Note-This is any place that sells alcohol, e.g. Krogers, party stores, etc.)

Mando21:
Oh... rats.    >:(

But I could open carry?  Yes? 

Twinge:
absolutely yes you could, provided the handgun is legally registered to you

Mando21:
Well, that is a relief anyway!  Thank you very much.
