Concealed Carry in Michigan | Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence
In addition, Michigan county clerks or issuing agencies are prohibited from issuing a concealed handgun license to an applicant unless:
The department of state police or the relevant county sheriff has determined through a federal NICS check that the applicant is not prohibited under federal law from possessing or transporting a firearm; and
If the applicant is not a US citizen, the department of state police has verified through United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement databases that the applicant is not an “illegal alien” or “nonimmigrant alien.”14
Michigan requires that any applicant for a concealed handgun license, prior to issuance of the license, complete a handgun safety training course certified by the state of Michigan or a national or state firearms training organization.15 Effective December 1, 2015, an applicant will be considered to have satisfied this requirement if he or she has passed an approved handgun safety training course within 5 years preceding the date of his or her application and all the other required conditions are met.16
All laws that apply to carrying a concealed handgun in Michigan.17
The course also must include at least three hours of instruction on a firing range, firing at least 30 rounds of ammunition.18
The program must provide a certificate of completion that states the program complies with the requirements of state law and that the individual successfully completed the course, signed by the course instructor.19 The instructor also must be certified by Michigan or a state or national organization to teach the safety training course.20
A license to carry a concealed handgun is valid until the licensee’s date of birth that falls not less than four nor more than five years after the license is issued.21 A license may be renewed in generally the same manner required to obtain the original license, except that the safety training education requirements are waived if the applicant certifies that he or she has completed at least three hours of review of the required training and has had at least one hour of firing range time in the six months immediately preceding the renewal application.22
Michigan requires the Department of State Police to maintain a computerized database of individuals who apply for a concealed handgun license. The database may only contain the following information as to each individual:23
If the individual was denied a license to carry a concealed handgun after July 1, 2001 or issued a notice of statutory disqualification, a statement of the reasons for that denial or notice of statutory disqualification;24
Information in the database may only be accessed and disclosed according to an access protocol that includes the following requirements:25
The county clerk must retain a copy of each concealed handgun license application as an official record until one year after the expiration of the license, at which time the county clerk may destroy the record (but shall maintain a name index of the record in the database).26
A concealed handgun license issued to a resident of another state is recognized in Michigan.27

However, starting December 1, 2015, the county clerk shall waive the 6-month residency requirement for an emergency license if the applicant is a petitioner for certain personal protection orders, or if the county sheriff determines that there is clear and convincing evidence to believe that the safety of the applicant or the safety of a member of the applicant’s family or household is endangered by the applicant’s inability to immediately obtain a license to carry a concealed handgun.
