3.112. Rifles and shotguns; purchases by nonresidents. Residents of a contiguous state may purchase rifles and shotguns in this state if they conform to the federal gun control act of 1968 and the regulations issued thereunder as administered by the secretary of the treasury and the laws of the state wherein the purchaser resides.
[Publisher's Note: The above statutes were originally enacted as procedural/enabling statutes so as conform state law with the Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA). In 1986 the GCA was amended to permit long gun transfers from Federal Firearms Licensees to residents of any state, whether contiguous or not, if made at the seller's licensed business premises and only if in full compliance with the legal conditions of sale in both the buyer's and seller's states of residence. The Michigan Attorney General's Office has determined that these provisions do not imply restrictions to sales beyond contiguous states by persons properly licensed by the Federal government to deal in firearms.]
