ok, wtf does this mean?

"Except as otherwise provided in this act, a person shall not purchase, carry, possess, or transport a pistol in this state without first having obtained a license for the pistol as prescribed in this section."

I have purchased two pistols, and did not have to get a license for them....

It means you need to read MCL 28.422 and MCL 28.422a.

Either you got a license or, you were "excepted" under the statute.

Or you got them illegally.
