With all the hub-bub about the current Administration making efforts to restrict gun use (if not downright making handguns illegal), is it a good time for you to consider obtaining a CCW Gun Permit? And if so, how do you go about doing so?
As a Certified Pistol Instructor in Michigan, I can fill you in on the particulars - and it's surprisingly, not all the complicated!
First and foremost, make sure you have a clean record. If you are not sure, or may have some grey areas you have a question about, contact your local county's Sheriff Department. Definite no no's are: If you have been convicted of a misdemeanor in the past THREE YEARS or a felony within the past EIGHT YEARS, or are now awaiting judgment, you are NOT ELIGIBLE to receive a CCW gun permit at this time.
Secondly, you must be at least 21 years of age.
Third, find a Certified Pistol and Handgun Instructor, like myself, and take the State of Michigan Pistol Training Course. Upon successful completion of the course, you are given a certificate by me.
Fourth, take your Certificate and passport sized photo of yourself to your local County Courthouse.
Fifth, fill out the application there and pay the fee (around $105). You will be required to be digitally fingerprinted at the courthouse for this application.
After the Gun Board (and every county has one) reviews your information, you could be awarded a CCW Gun Permit.
Some counties require that you come in for a face to face evaluation before they issue a CCW Gun Permit.
If approved, your CCW Gun Permit typically arrives in the mail in about 4-5 weeks and your are now certified!
Your CCW Gun Permit is good for 5 years and renewal can be done with no further training.
So that's the logistics of the CCW Gun Permit being acquired.
