In Michigan, the very basic requirements to receive a CPL are the applicant has to:
- Be twenty-one years old
- Be a citizen of the United States, and
- Be a resident of Michigan, which are similar to the requirements for receiving a driver’s license.
However, the state will not just give applicants a CPL simply because they fit this description. Applicants must also complete a gun safety course. The course consists of at least eight hours of instructional training with three hours of shooting time on a range. Michigan provides a list of certified courses for applicants to choose from on the state’s website. . There are also restrictions based on the applicant’s criminal history and mental health. For example, a prior felony conviction disqualifies an individual from receiving a CPL. An applicant must also get fingerprinted, which comes with its own set of fees. In the end, the total cost to receive a CPL will be around $250-$300.
