Privately Selling a Firearm

Anyone who can legally own a firearm in Michigan can also privately sell a firearm in the state.

Prohibited from Buying

A person is prohibited from owning or buying a firearm if:[1]

  • The person is under indictment for a felony. As used in this subdivision, “felony” means a violation of a law of this state, another state, or the United States that is punishable by imprisonment for four years or more.
  • The person is prohibited from possessing, using, transporting, selling, purchasing, carrying, shipping, receiving, or distributing a firearm.[2]

Registering a Firearm

Any person who buys a firearm must send a copy of the firearm bill of sale provided by the seller to their local police or sheriff’s department.[3]

Concealed Carry

A Concealed Pistol License is required for any person to carry a concealed weapon in Michigan.

How to Apply

Applicants for a Concealed Pistol License must be at least 21 years old.

  1. Complete a Concealed Pistol License Application.
  2. Attach evidence that the applicant has completed an approved firearm safety training course.
  3. Attach a color passport-style photograph of the applicant if one isn’t already on file with the state.
  4. File with the county clerk where the applicant is a resident.

  6. Submit fingerprints through any department or agency that provides fingerprinting services.

Reciprocity

Michigan will recognize the concealed carry permit of any state as long as the carrier follows all Michigan state laws regarding firearms and concealed carry.[6]
